Just idle thoughts here. Facing a new week, thinking about how it'll play out, wondering if the client who's promised a deposit will follow through, curious as to how much pacing the floor our Lab. will do before she actually lies down, hearing the birds outside and grateful for the sunshine, working out in my head what we'll do for school today, and finally---praying that my joy stays intact and that I'll fully appreciate the blessings that are sitting in front of me on a daily basis.
Truth is, I get so tired, and stay that way, and unfortunately that colors the way I look at life. Good sleep is so incredibly important and when I'm not rested, everything---and I mean everything looks different. 'Course that's true of everyone. I'm not an isolated case, but it just feels like it. It's all about me, don't you know?!! ;)
I want to throw things when the dogs go on a licking spree, going from each other to the floors. Lick, lick, lick. These Pugs, who I adore, are licking machines, and that's about the only negative about them. I can live with it, but it does annoy me to have to listen to it first thing in the morning.
And the boys are eating everything in sight. It's no joke how much teenagers and those in their early twenties eat. My goodness. If it wasn't for peanut butter and frozen pizza, they'd starve. I'll admit to getting tickled, though, at our youngest son who's 13. He'll go in the kitchen and peer into the fridge, walk away empty-handed and return in about 10 minutes and do exactly the same thing. Guess he's thinking something will magically appear in there?!!
The repetitiveness of the days get to me, but I'll get over it. As I said, rest helps.
Deep breaths, and one thing at a time. I need to chill. And isn't the photo above glorious? I just gravitated to the greens in it, loved it as soon as I found it online at a free photo site I visit. Wonderful!
