sleepy head

S. had a  somewhat restless night Tuesday.

But he maneuvered through his day well.

And promptly fell to sleep after his school day.

He slept the 20 minute ride home.

(among the noise of his siblings) 

It was just enough to energize him again.

And he was up and going...

~~~~~

Now if I could make a  20 minute cat nap be enough for me to feel re-energized,

to hit the floor running full speed ahead, to the days end.

God equips each of us with our own unique gifts, that's for sure :)

Have a happy Thursday Friends!

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us... let him do it cheerfully."

Romans 12: 6 & 8

GOOD morning.

[This is for you, K.:) ]

For the first time in a long time my morning started out GOOD.

We had a very busy day yesterday and some pretty tough days before that,

I often wake with not-so-happy-anticipation of what the day's going to hold. :(

But today, I woke early & didn't let the days probable "chaos" get me down.

I kind of  feel chipper.

And believe ir or not, even some of my non-morning people woke with more "sun-shining" today!

DJ, who typically doesn't speak until sometime after 9, was smiling & talkative, before 7:30am - well, talkative for him :) He even cracked a joke or two... GOOD morning!

Maybe this "GOOD attitude" stuff wears off on one another ;)

Who would of thought????

I'm not expecting a perfect day, but rejoicing in the GOOD start of this morning.

Thanking God for all "gifts" ... big & small!

"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God."

Psalm 40:3



the best medicine :)

Humor is so good for the heart!

a moment to just be silly.

time away from the stresses of life, given to JOY.

Joining in with "laughter" feels good...

lighter.

happier!

As we spent time together with dear friends over Christmas break, the common theme for us girls were 'SCARVES'.

a couple of us girls could be found wearing one at any given time :)

A scarf or two could also be found hung over a chair or other piece of furniture.

And DJ does not like to be left out :)

So when given the opportunity,

he picked one up, wrapped it around himself and says,

"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!"

Laura was quick to join in the "fun", re-wrapped her scarf and hammed it up!

I had to take a picture.

Laughter truly is the "best medicine!"

Happy Days to all of you,

Becky
