We have been on survival mode for several months now. Not a survival mode where we are all miserable and unhappy surviving, just the kind where I have cut out doing a lot of stuff that is not essential.
But for a while I have been thinking that I want to write some of the moments that are beautiful.
so for things that make me happy:
#1 My baby's kisses. He turns to me with his tongue sticking out and wants to lick my face to show me his love. I kiss him and then he kisses/licks me back. Pretty adorable albeit slobbery.
#2 Family pictures on my wall. The baby turned one, so I thought that I better finally put up some family pictures that included him... especially since I had some great ones. Isn't it great having a few cute family pictures smiling at you! Makes me kind of feel like we ARE a good looking family, even if I haven't brushed my hair yet today.
#3 Music with memories. I played a song on the piano yesterday and it took me back so vividly to some wonderful college days. Isn't that amazing.
#4 Cheerios. Overrated: hot breakfast. Actually, if someone else wanted to cook, I would love a hot breakfast. But my kids can just pour whole-grained goodness into their bowl all by themselves, something that mothers centuries ago only dreamed of. Out of the thousands of years of human civilization, I am so glad to live in the time of Cheerios.
