Tonight I am going to bed content.
I rested this weekend. I
drank lots of hot tea.
I also ran 15 miles over the course of three days. I realize that may not seem restful, but I
needed the renewal.
I did lots of laundry. And
dishes.
I spent time with my family. We got our pumpkins. Katy snuggled with her mini pumpkin when we
watched Harry Potter.
I only made soup once.
I was grateful.
I had moments this weekend that took me back to survival
mode. When I drank my first Emergen-C on
Friday, I remembered how often I would take those when I worked all the
time. Trying to stay afloat. When I got sick during survival mode, I had to
keep pushing through. I still had to
work that second job. There wasn’t time
to rest.
This weekend, there was time to rest. I am so incredibly grateful.
Gratitude doesn’t always happen because of those big moments. For me, a quiet sigh of relief brings
gratitude. I know my journey. I know how it used to be. This is one of those moments when I can
reflect on the past and be grateful for the present. And be grateful for the day ahead.

I know how it used to be...oh yes. Me too. That's the foundation for every bit of gratitude that I feel. My little girl got some small pumpkins and slept with them. That doesn't seem comfy to me, but they couldn't be parted! Maybe it's a little girl thing?
ReplyDeleteYeah, she also put them inside her shirt. Guess she wanted those pumpkins extra close! ;)
