Joy Dare - Dare You!
Three Gifts Loud
779. My voice singing in the car on my drive to and from work.
780. My daughters' voices singing in the care on our drive to and from school.
781. Emmy screaming in the backyard this afternoon just because she can.
782. Being thanked for the "sanitary and efficient" way that I pick other people's paper towel pieces up off the floor in the restroom at work with another paper towel. What a thing to be noticed for, but the thank you email this person sent to me opened up a beautiful exchange and story that she shared with me for appreciating the "little things". Cheers to feeling thrilled with the little things and to noticing many more of them.
783. Another beautiful message today in a phone call with someone very special to me: Nobody can take away the beauty of you and all that makes you uniquely you and beautiful. This is the one thing you have sole control over in life, and it is a gift for others to be privileged to share. Not an exact quote, but hopefully I captured the essence, because it brought tears to my eyes as she spoke.
784. So grateful for my teeth - that I still have them all, that they help me smile, eat, and talk. Coming to terms with needing some repairs, but I do still have them - have them all.
785. A walk with Lily after dinner to count desert trees (palo verde), cactus (saguaro, barrel, prickly pear, ocotillo), bird nests, and one lizard. Thank you Mrs. Worthington for this enjoyable homework assignment that gave us time together at sunset to enjoy our natural surroundings and each other.
786. Andy and I working on showing people how we want to be treated. We are important too.
787. Grateful that I am not a survivor of physical abuse, and that my children can say the same. If only every child out there could hold that truth in their heart. I am thankful to the many who work to prevent child abuse.
788. Thankful for the extra sleep I will get tonight when I go to bed shortly.
