What a day today! Rain, thunder, lightening, and for the first time in a LONG time that is not metaphorically speaking! Sorry to those that don't like it but it was so wonderful! My plants got some water, we had our windows open and enjoyed the cool breeze for a bit, and there was no blazing sun! I stopped being able to enjoy the hot sun a few years back when I got on my chemotherapy meds...it doesn't allow for much sun exposure and warns against it, so foggy, cloudy weather is preferable in some ways.
I re-read a lot of my posts from past days today and I felt SO much happiness as I read them! It is so great to be able to go back and re-live my happy moments, and some of them were really great in the past two weeks! Had I known that blogging happy memories would help me each day, I would have thought to do this sooner! I have a journal where I write down on paper many things, but this blog is specifically for positive moment journaling, and it is just wonderful!
We had a lovely evening eating some great BBQ food at my parent's house with my parents, brother, sister-in-law, niece, and the Mormon Missionaries tonight. It was so nice to sit around as a family and laugh and have fun talking. It was so great to see my two kids and their cousin play and have fun. I remember the joys of playing with my cousins when I was little and I hope my kids create many happy memories! It was fun watching Connor walk around to my parents and beg food off of their forks lol. Joel is getting to spend the night tonight at my parent's house. It will be his last weekday sleepover for a while! Soon, real school starts and other than holidays and summer, that part of his life is done. He stayed there each week for a night or two while I worked full time, he begged to stay there every chance he could get in the last couple of months when I was down and out for various reasons. It has been such a happy place for him. But it is so exciting to see him grow and start Kindergarten soon! Life keeps moving forward, nothing I can do to stop the progression of it. All I can do is be happy and try to blog each blissful moment so I can look back and smile.
