The boys were up bright and early again this AM too, but once again they snuggled up in my room with me for a little while so it made it a little nicer at least. The rest of the day went pretty well, the boys played again most of the day. Daddy came home with a free movie rental from redbox for them and they were excited to be able to sit and watch it with their own bag of popcorn and everything. I still haven’t been able to take a decent picture of their surprise, but my hands are getting steadier so perhaps tomorrow I can get it done :-)

Today I Am Grateful:

1) For snuggle time with my boys. As they get older I cherish every moment I can get!!

2) For the weekend spent recuperating and slowly feeling better for it.

3) For getting back to some of the things I love doing.

4) For the sound of my boys’ laughter – especially when it’s pure, absolute from the belly laughter or shrieks of delight as they have fun with something of their own doing – beautiful sounds and moments I store in my heart with gratitude & Love

5) For telling myself it’s okay if I give myself one more day to heal tomorrow and then go back to the gym with my Dad on Tuesday instead. I know he’ll understand – I’m so proud of the way he’s been taking care of himself this year and helping me as well ♥
