As I was typing just now--trying to catch up on my blogging this morning (got to bed after midnight last night). James came up and snuggled into my just-made bed. He is lying on his favorite pillow in the house. It has a picture of a bike and says, "Make Everyday an Adventure". He loves it because it is so soft and he loves what it says too. As he was lying there he just said, "I miss Grammy Rees. I wish she was still alive." I do too, and I love how he's able to talk about what he's feeling.
Yesterday we began Rock Week. Lots of joking about how "This week totally rocks!!"and pebbles, and stones...
One step at a time. Folding laundry and then putting it away. Working on one little corner of the garden and then the next one. Reading one of the many books I own but haven't read and then the next, and the next. James is reading a new book we got from my mom called The Egg Tree . He has decided to read one page of it a day--- there are a million words on each page. And he is loving it. So proud after he finishes each page.
Reading my Quiet Thoughts book again (the one from Onda Thorstensen) and then passing it along to my mom to read. The things that stand out today are different from those that stood out a year ago, or 24 years ago.
Ryan gave me a globe!!!! He's been searching at the D.I. for months and he found one today and it's huge and it has a beautiful wooden stand it sits in, and it's in the piano room and it makes me feel like our home is complete. Looking at it I just feel happy and loved and excited about our life.
Peter had his final baseball game last night. He got a hit, they lost to the Dodgers, and his coach, our friend, felt badly about pulling out the first string pitcher after one inning. But what do you do? And Peter had so much fun and didn't want to go originally, per the norm. So exciting. Lots of bad calls from the ump. So much base stealing and sliding. Even a few fly balls caught!
Love is always an option. Even if people don't love or like me. Even if I feel that they are not being fair or kind, I can still choose to love them. So empowering!!!
James just finished another page. Wow. And the next page has just pictures. So happy to get to a big picture!
