The good for just what it is... I am thankful for the big and the small... last night I was setting at then end of the bed as the kids played on my bed..it was late, past their bed time, and I was mending a pair of pants... I looked up after I ended the stitch and they were all laying on top of each other...all 6 of them even the 13 year old looked so sweet, I remember him at such a tender age as if it were yesterday.<br />When did they fall asleep? I had been looking so closely at my<br />work that I had missed the very moment.... I am thankful...I left them in my bed...(hubby is on a buisness trip) and went to put my sewing away..... I came back and watched them for a hour as I wrote<br />each a note...for when they are older about this night, even though I could not take their photo... their little faces all together was so sweet...I layed at the bottom of the bed...and <br />fell asleep with a smile on my face. I guess I could have woke them and sent them to their beds... but then I would have been loney dont you think?<br />Children give a house life...a room happiness.

I appreciate your families 'motto' Love each day, ours is Be here now the thrust behind each brings us both into the same line of thinking and I love reading something so positive and life changing such as this. Your right it is easier in the days of dipping in the rivers, lakes and 'cricks' to carry these thoughts close to our hearts, I love that you have focused your thoughts on capturing this in everyday. It is when we carry the same mindset of a day of bliss into our everyday that in turn we will find bliss in each moment. oops I think I just wrote a book there ; ) This line of thinking resonates with me.gardenmamahttp://gardenmama.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-14285803494599584872009-09-06T21:22:45.605-04:002009-09-06T21:22:45.605-04:00Every day is a gift- and so is the wisdom containe...Every day is a gift- and so is the wisdom contained in this beautiful post with such insightful comments.

The guilt eats me up and the choice has been taken out of my hands so I'm home. I have been trying to find the love each day, I'm writing down your list in my journal and reciting it everyday!

But to this I would add: Find beauty in the world around you: there is nothing that makes me feel so connected to the universe than to just stop for a minute and admire the beauty in the natural world around us-be it a flower, a cloud, animals or whatever, Laugh! This one is easy for me as my kids constantly crack me up. Sing! Just a few lines sung along to my favourite song makes me feel so good inside. Hug! I have to have a bit of physical loving every day...even if it's just with the dog or cats. Thanks for making us think about this!

Almost always we end up reminiscing. Looking back into the past, remembering good times and telling funny stories we remember.<br /><br />The other thing that makes me happy is knowing God is in control and I don't have to analyze, plan or understand everything that happens.Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224500807714788249noreply@blogger.com
