Mondays have been hard for me lately. They are so long and so busy. Especially since we got back from a trip yesterday my list of things to do was extra long. Laundry, grocery shopping, piano lessons, dinner, closing the books for the business for last month, oh my! It doesn't seem like much, but it is all so time consuming. And I am exhausted now. The worst part is looking at my phone and realizing that I didn't take one picture today. I didn't slow down enough for one cute little picture. Which means I didn't slow down enough to even realize what there was to be grateful for. Which is probably why today was long and hard.
Slowing down. Being present. Recognizing what I have to be grateful for. Pausing. Taking a deep breath. Relaxing. Smiling. These are things I need everyday and I didn't give them to myself today.
But tonight was pretty great. Brad taught a lesson on preparing for General Conference. I got to talk to my parents for a bit which is always refreshing. And we watched Bedtime Stories. I'd forgotten how funny that movie is and how much Adam Sandler movies can make me laugh. It was a good ending to the day.
