I have felt “behind” all day long. This is the first I have been home since I left for Step Class this morning and I am heading out again soon. I am so used to having very quiet yet filled days that when I have a guest and visit-filled weekend it throws me off a little even though I love the guests and the visits. I think that what I really need is a nap … perhaps tomorrow :)
Pumpkin gave me a very special gift at Christmas. She made little strips of paper that she wrote really, really nice things about me on and rolled each one up stuck with tape and waiting to be opened. They say things like “You deserve to have everything that you want” and “You can do anything that you set your mind to” and “You have a gorgeous smile” and “You are delightful” and … well, you get the idea. There are 365 of them that she made up and placed in an antique jewelry box. The idea is that I open and read one every day. Instead of doing this I save them for days that I might need a little boost or if I am sick and then I might open 2 or more. It always works. So if you are ever looking for a special gift for a special someone I highly recommend that you take some time and create one of these magic feel-good boxes! It will probably be the hit gift of their year. Thank you Pumpkin!
Prince Charming gets back from traveling tomorrow night. He had the opportunity to fly an F-86 Sabre. The first time he flew it he called me and, with a little boy super excited and pleased voice (and if you know him you know that this outpouring of exuberant emotion is not like him), told me about his flight. I can’t tell you how happy he sounded; how tickled with life. It made me sooooo happy to hear him so happy. Isn’t it terrific when the people that we love are happy? Doesn’t it make your world better? I know it does for me. So here’s to happiness!
And maybe to naps!
Have a happy, nappy day!
Ella
