Early Morning

GOOD MORNING!!!

I wake up with my husband every morning at 4 AM to fix him breakfast, help him prepare his lunch and kiss him goodbye as he walks out the door to do what a man does. He never works Sundays, so today is a first. Some days I go back to bed for an hour or two, but days like today...I just don't wanna.

I am feeling INSPIRED this morning. I am feeling GRACEFUL. I am feeling PEACE. I am loving this rain. I have a cup of coffee in hand. I am blabbing on this blog post for no reason at all. I am just happy.

I am a positive person. I have days when I am a grump too, but for the most part I realize life is too short to be negative. I love quotes! If I ever need a pick me up I always either get on Pinterest and search for quotes or I Google them. Here are a few quotes that have absolutely filled my heart this morning.

"If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sun beams and you will always look lovely." - Beautiful! Who doesn't want to always look lovely?

"My entire life I wanted to be an artist. Then one day I looked around my home and realized I am an artist and my canvas is my home." - I am an artist! Wow!

"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle." - I absolutely agree. I love lifting spirits and I love forgiveness.

Last, but not least, "What on Earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book and a cup of coffee?" Ummm, nothing! Except I wish I was reading a good book rather than my Accounting text book.

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY.

Dear Anistyn

Dear Anistyn,

I often watch you sleep. Especially in the mornings after your Dad leaves to work and I am left wide awake to ponder on all the things I have to get done that day, what assignments or exams I have to prepare for or what I am going to make for dinner that evening. 

So, here I am, watching you sleep. You are almost 10 months old. You have started to sleep through the night, but have also started to refuse to sleep in your own bed. You have one bottom tooth on the right and one top tooth on the left. Can you say, hillbilly?! You can climb an entire flight of stairs, so a baby gate is written on the shopping list. Last week as I was washing dishes I looked over at you and you happily grinned at me while you chewed a mystery treat that I had not given you. First I pulled out a set of wings and then I pulled out a dead wasp. Girl, you're killin' me! Speaking of treats...you eat everything and anything. You can't stand to watch someone eat without them sharing. I love you, really, I do. Because when you pooped in the bath tub this weekend and I caught you with it on your hands I swiped you up so fast to save you. You then thanked me with a slight slap to my lips. So, thanks for the poopy lips that I left on so I could clean you off first. Sis, you're amazing in every way. Every day isn't perfect, but having you in my life is perfect in every way. Xoxo
