Feeling grounded again

Today I am grateful for.......

Getting to see another Indiana sunset over the fields last night while waiting for Taylor to be done with cheer practice.

The cooler whether that makes me feel grounded and at home.

All of the kids extra curricular activities that cause me to be in places I normally wouldn't be at times I normally wouldn't be out,....which allows me the opportunity to see and experience things I wouldn't see if I weren't picking them up from their activities.

Football.

Being back at work this week and seeing my mom, Kay, and Lisa's beautiful smiles. Spending most of my time chatting and catching up with them instead of working! :)

Messages from Steven, knowing he's working hard preparing to do his part in protecting our country. ....Seeing the absolute joy on his face in photos of his adventures during his time off in Alaska. The prospects of his two weeks at home over Christmas.

Seeing a new glog from Bridgett :)

The girls wanting to make money which means they're doing more chores! Yea, less work for me :)

The PERFECT day today. Windows open, fresh cool air billowing in.

Getting my yard mowed today.

Driving the convertible with the top down.

12 hours of sleep yesterday and waking this morning feeling fantastic and ready to roll.

Looking forward to lunch with my friend Gary tomorrow, excited about catching up with what's been going on in his life since the last time I saw him. Knowing the house he's having built is coming along smoothly with no problems or delays.

Connecting with more and more friends from the past and present on myspace.

Finally having a definite date for getting my gate fixed!

More and more time spent on the elliptical.

Being friends with 3 sisters who are as close as my sisters and I. Looking forward to getting the 6 of us all out together, .....watch out world!

Dancing, ... I love dancing.

Kelsey's excitement about being involved with the tech side of the upcoming play. She talked the whole way home about what they'd been building, all the physical labor involved, and the fun she's having. She also talked a lot about her Japanese class. She loves her teacher, and the way he runs the class. She's looking forward to her upcoming movie night for the Japanese class this Thursday.

The cooler whether giving me new inspiration for new paintings.

Good things happening for the people I love.

You my little leaf, you.
