Sunbeamin!

I have sorta coined a phrase related to the goodness found in the days.....strollin on sunbeams:) We get to do it in this life, if we just look......and Saturday we went to Gabe's baseball game, and the wind though! I was frozen even though it was 60 degrees.....so cold and strange, and then we did chores, and I got my mental tune-up:) But yesterday......was pure sun:) Strollin on the beams! The weather was glorious.....my favorite weather for sure....and I took the kids to church, and the sermon was beautiful....always timely....and then came home, and my mom and dad, and my brother and my sister in law, and their new babe came over:) It was so beautiful......I had had food frozen from Easter, some lasagna and meatballs.....allowing for no cooking for anybody....and we just got to relax and visit. I got two new beautiful plants for my deck....perfect additions.....and lovely cards....and this beautiful leather backpack.....my mom helps with a thrift store in church, and one of the ladies that donates gave her this backpack for me.....feeling like I may love it for hiking.....it is gorgeous....tags and all........and I will use it for work:) Grateful for all the loveliness.....oh and chocolate cake;-) And the sunbeam days are the days to hold onto, they really are......strolling in the sunshine, and feeling every bit of it.....I did have a moment in the morning.....I saw lovely posts that fellas were making about their wives as mothers.....and it touched me so deeply.....realizing not being affirmed in that way by the father of my own kiddos is painful some.....knowing the reasons why.....but still.....there was something about Mother's Day yesterday that brought up some of that stuff for me....however it was fleeting, and did not diminish the sunbeamin.....:) And I suppose it just reinforced what I am looking for in love in this life......a bar to hold.......a man that gets it.....fully......and loves me in the ways that I seek to be loved finally......and sometimes when you are shown that contrast it is for the greater good......reminding you of the places you want to be loved. So that moment strengthened my resolve to be loved and seen so fully.....:)Being a mother to my kids has absolutely been the greatest blessing of my life......they are such treasures to my life....keeping me keeping on and inspiring me to keep pushing, growing, and grinding for our future:) I love them both with every bit of myself......They were so thoughtful with such special gifts for me......so this morning finds me facing another busy week......surviving the end of school with 4th graders that are already on summer vacation lol;-) Gabe's prom on Friday! So I am breathing deeply.....and taking the sunbeam energy I got to soak in yesterday into this week! I am a blessed gal:)
