A prayer for today

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.


Last night I had gone out after work for a couple beer with a few co-workers.  It sure was a good time, but I stayed up way too late for someone who had to get up to get the kids to school!!  lol  oh well you only live once.

Today was a normal day.  After dragging myself out of bed, getting the kids ready for school and convincing myself NOT to crawl back into bed I got dressed and got on with my day.  Hubby and I did a maintenance grocery shopping and stopped by Goodwill to pick up some 'new-to-me' clothes as my work shirts are worn out and my jeans are getting baggy.  :)  The rest of my afternoon was spent getting my area rug outside to be cleaned and then I proceeded to clean my living room.  Tomorrow I tackle the kitchen and bathroom and go to the gym.


Yes, a pretty normal day, a happy day.  My life may not be super exciting but I get enough drama and excitement at work!  It is so nice to have a few days of normalcy to break up all that drama  :p

So be thankful for the quiet days, the normal days, the exciting days and the sad days.  They are all days and all part of who we are and who we want to be.
