"Bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish. How many pieces do you wish?"
------------------------
The photo is from yesterday, but the kids managed to maintain that weekend spirit into the after school hours today, which is not always the norm on Monday evenings. We may have sunshine and the outdoors to thank for that.
For a day that began with very little sleep behind it, this day felt more like a collection of moments than a stretch of time.
A morning drive by myself. Thankful.
A Stephen Tyler reminder that somewhere deep down inside my yet un-showered self lived someone fierce who can (while listening to Walk This Way at least) accomplish anything. Phone calls. Emails. A meeting that went smoother and friendlier than expected. Thankful.
A grande refresh from Starbucks. Thankful.
A daughter who completed homework in record time without erasing and perfectionist penmanship. So thankful.
The 6 PM realization that even lacking sleep I am NOT overwhelmingly exhausted like I was a few months and ten pounds ago. That unwell haze has been lifted. Very, very thankful.
