Why is it that when things start feeling in control that I start getting nervous that something odd is going to happen? It seems crazy, but it's true. And I honestly feel like I've got a handle on my chaotic life right now...and that vacation next week will be divine. So, yeah, it's making me nervous....
Happiness/ Gratitude list, 19 June edition:
- The full moon last night. I could see it through the trees from my bed as I went to sleep. Not a bad way to drift off....not camping, not Alaska, but not bad.
- Doing something for someone that was a relatively small thing for me- and was something that meant a lot to them. It's amazing how much a relatively tiny act of kindness can be magnified.
- The joy with which Tuckie greets me every day when I get home. I know, he's a cat and they don't do that. He does. I promise.
- Getting stuff checked off of my to-do list. I'll still never get it all done, but it's shrinking.
- This one will sound completely nuts- but I'm truly grateful I canceled the Alaska trip. My foot has been aching all day today and since I was supposed to leave in three days it's obviously for the best I'm not going. I'm still sad to miss the opportunity, but it just wasn't to be this year. God's will, not mine.
Goodnight, all. Sweet dreams.
