My weekend was great.
Yesterday my parents watched the kids for me for a few hours so I could clean and organize the house. A clean house always makes me feel good even if it does only last a couple days before it returns to the normal state of chaos. I took about 4 bags of clothes and many other odds and ends to Goodwill and it sure feels good to let go of some of our excess. I organized all the bedrooms and I feel like I can breath a little now.
Last night we made cookies and I let Riley help me. While we were putting the cookies on the pan Riley says "Mom, I really like you. You are fun." Those are the moments that make life worth living. Simple moments like that are better than anything money can buy you. Life is so busy and stressful that it can be easy to forget to appreciate the simplicity of true happiness. When I stop and think about it I feel truly happy on the inside regardless of the stress that surrounds me. Thank God for simple things like singing songs with your kids, watching a sunrise or sunset or enjoying a day with a close friend. Taking a walk on a warm sunny day, spending time with your family or feeling the presence of God. Watching a good movie, drinking a hot cup of coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day. Going for a Sunday drive, reading a good book or listening to your favorite music. Building a snowman with your kids, playing hide and go seek or listening to the laughter of a child We could name so many awesome things that we can enjoy every day at little or no cost at all. The little things can bring so much joy and sometimes the less you have the better off you are.
Was able to get out for some snow shoeing this morning with Linda. It was a refreshing walk. So glad we got out before the freeze sets in tomorrow.

Life is a work of art. I am not a talented artist but I can appreciate the beautiful canvas life surrounds me with every day.
