It is Friday and time to check in with myself about what happened this week that I am grateful for. When life has changed and someone you love is fighting a chronic illness it can be easy to see only the struggles each day. But I have found that throughout any journey there are always things to feel positive about. I know that by writing these things down each week I am helping myself to stay focused on the prize - a happy content life enjoying the simple things that are all around me. I hope that in some small way I am encouraging others to recognize the wonderful moments in their life as well.
This week has flown by. I spent four days with my grandsons. They never cease to amaze me and when they are not competing with each other they are laughing and having a great time. They are really close brothers and I know that I am so lucky to be able to see them often. We all took pictures of each other yesterday and it was amazing that the three year old took a better picture of me than any professional who ever tried. Could it be just luck or is he amazingly talented? Any grandmother would know the answer to that one - he is amazing talented as is his brother.
This week I learned how to skype. I know it has been around for awhile but now is the first time I had a reason to learn how to use this incredible piece of technology. On Monday I am going to take an art lesson with Erin who lives in England. I love Erin's work and was so excited when I learned that I could take lessons with her. I met Erin on Jamie Ridler's Wishcasting Wednesday Blog. Blogging has opened up so many doors for me. I cannot wait for Monday to meet Erin in person and take my first lesson.
Last but not least I have rediscovered shopping. This could be a bad thing but I am a very conservative spender so I know it will not be a problem. Lately, I have not enjoyed shopping but yesterday I found the cutest store and I loved everything in it. It is nice to have a special place to go where it seems everything they bought was just for you. I love bright colors and whimsical things and this store has both. So now even if I don't buy a thing, I have a place to go to get my fill of creative things for my house.
I hope that your week was filled with special moments and that you will take the time to share them with me. I have found that it is always good to share the things that make us happy with others so that they feel free to share their happy special moments as well! Thus, the circle of happiness can continue to grow and grow for all of us.
