How Ever Did I Manage?

Well, today I realized something. I really need to appreciate the small things more. I have been stressing about my financial situation for months and I haven't taken the time to just enjoy my life. This weekend I did some of that. Here is a list of some of the things I enjoyed:

• I sat in a coffee shop people watching early on a Saturday morning. I saw so many interesting people go through there. The table of guys rotating through just shooting the breeze before they move on to the rest of their day.
• I got to meet a most charming Irish Wolfhound that morning as well and got a giant sized kiss right on the face.
• When I was at work I realized that making a child smile makes me smile.
• Saw my sister so proud of something she had worked on.
• My niece and nephew with their bongos. Oh man my arms are still sore from that game.
• Spent time with the greatest brother a girl could ask for.
• Cooked a meal that pretty much everyone enjoyed...Natalie didn't really but she liked helping me
• Being outside after a long and hard winter
• Sleep
• Showered, I know you might think that I would appreciate a shower but just stop and notice how nice it feels to be clean. Refreshing
• Wrote. I took some time to actually write some poetry this weekend which I haven't don't in far too long.

Yes I know that some of this may not make sense to you and know that some of this doesn't make much sense to me. Also I have now idea why I am feeling the need to appreciate my surroundings, but I do.

Do me one favor, give yourself time to daydream. It does wonders for the soul.
