I didn’t have the opportunity to spend here today that I was hoping. The weather was great, plus I had on my Domestic Goddess hat, which meant taking care of the little things that keep the household running smoothly, such as cooking dinner, grooming Mister M. etc.
As I type this, Marcel is in the living room watching the soccer match, which affords me a little quiet time to do what “I” want to do, without giving him the feeling that he’s being negelcted or abandoned for the computer. Not that he feels that way often, but men do have a tendency to feel neglected if we become preoccupied too long with other activities when they are around.
He’s a wonderful man though, and I adore him, plus love spending time with him, but even with all that being said, I still love my “ME” time, and I know you do too, even if you may not be so quick to admit it.
It has been a gorgeous day here in Neverland. It started out a bit on the foggy side, but it wasn’t too late before the sun appeared and the temps rose a few degrees. It was beautiful. I’m hoping for more of the same tomorrow so I can spend some time working outside getting ready for ‘spring planting’.
I noticed earlier today that the daffodils are beginning to bloom, and I saw several carpets of purple and white where the crocus were in bloom. It was gorgeous, and brought a smile to my face- this is the season for new beginnings, which brings so many ideas and thoughts to mind.
More on those at a later date….
My Gratitude List for March 18, 2009.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- Marcel, for doing the dishes, and also for taking care of a phone call that I needed to make, but he made it for me instead.
- Sue- for the book that she sent me on the Azores.
- Mister Mistoffelees, for actually making it through a grooming session and not biting or scratching me.
- Being able to catch up with Sarah for a little while today. I’ve missed her.
- Facebook, for reconnecting me with so many wonderful people from my past.
What are YOU grateful for today??
