Just being me

This week I love Monday. It's vacation week and I like having a week to just "be".

Just be a mom.

Just be a wife.

Just be able to focus on my family.

To just be.

I want to be able to go to a friend's house without feeling like I am rushed.

I want to be able to drink a cup of coffee without having to drink it in a travel mug on my way to work.

I want to be able to catch up on a project or two.

I want to be able to start a book that has been waiting to be enjoyed.

I want to be able to go to church for two Sundays in a row.

I am thankful today that I am alive. 

I am thankful for kids that make a lot of noise when they come home.

I am thankful for a sister, brother-in-law, and nephew that came to visit today.

I am thankful my husband is so good-looking. 

Yes, I went there.

I hope Tuesday is just as rewarding. Tomorrow the painting of Heather's room begins...

Here's to just "being".

Love,

Dianne
