The Challenge this week was to find one thing each day that makes you smile, keep track of them and then post them at the end of the week. So I'm starting this post on Tuesday the 18th and then publishing it on the 25th. The reason this was chosen is that there are so many people in my group of friends that have been facing what seem to be insurmountable troubles and utter sadness lately; perhaps taking it all down to the moment-to-moment and finding those little good things that make us smile, focusing on them, can help us get through the big bad things.
Tuesday: Laughing til my stomach hurt with MKP
Wednesday: Watching Little Man tool around the family room, walking behind and overturned children's chair that he was using like a wheelbarrow.
Thursday: The neighbors' son's little puggle running in the other direction each time the kid (ok, he's like 20yrs old, not really a kid) called him. Completely playing chicken with him.
Friday: Odin, rolling in the snow, elated that it was back
Saturday: Finding the exact perfect color for our kitchen AND getting our couches back from the upholsterer
Sunday: Seeing my house all decorated for Easter
Monday: waking up to a clean house after entertaining the whole family, all nine of us
Stories about food, raising kids, being married, managing a home, a life lived and the journey to find myself from this stay-at-home-mom who often feels pulled in a million directions, or, OVERSCHEDULED
