The weekend was lovely. Beautiful weather. So many things we could have done. I thought about taking the kids to the park. I thought about taking them to the bookstore. We didn't do either of those things.
On the way home Friday, I stopped on the side of the road and took some pictures. Of buttercups. And weeds. And later that evening, pictures of my girls, the sunset, my backyard swing, the horses in the pasture behind our house. I took all of these pictures with my phone. And it filled me right up. :)
Friday night, we went to the home of some dear friends to celebrate. The celebration was for Cy's best friend, Lora. The reason? It was the anniversary of the day her adoption was finalized. Lora Day. What a great reason to celebrate! We were so honored to be invited.
Saturday, Cy sang in the Choir at the local Arts Awareness Festival. We went to Walmart. We came home and there was plenty of laundry, etc. to tend to.
Sunday, glorious Sunday. I started the day sitting on my front steps with coffee in hand and my journal. I love the mornings like that when I can have some quiet time to write, think, pray, read and listen to the birds. Yes, the birds.
Later that day, I was in one of the bedrooms with the window open. I heard something outside and looked toward the azalea bush right by the window. There were two blue jays. I watched them for some time and loved every minute of it.
The best part about Sunday was that me & my Cy girlie went outside and sat at our backyard table in the sun and painted our toes the colors of Easter eggs. :)
We didn't do lots of things or go many places. I didn't get everything checked off of my TO DO list. But there was ZEN. There was present moment living and I was happy.
