Day 1,310
Here are all the lovely things about today:
It rained.
It was cloudy and wet outside and cozy and dry inside.
Matt was home today.
Tobin likes to come in and cuddle with me in the mornings.
Tomorrow is Friday.
I get to smell lavender all day long while I work from home.
Watching Tobin ride his bike.
Measuring the heights of Addy and Tobin on the doorframes to their rooms.
There are people that I love.
There are people that love me.
What else matters?
It was a good day. I'm thankful for it.

Day 1,309
Thankful for:
Patty.
There is no one else like her.
If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here.
She has saved me more times than I can count.
She's my very best friend in the whole wide world.
When I'm with her, I feel safe, I feel home, I feel grounded.
Thankful.

Healing balm for the soul.

Day 1,307
This day was amazing. The weather was lovely. The sky was blue. The clouds were puffy and white. The sun was warm. The wind was cool. We went for a bike ride in the neighborhood. Matt and I walked while the kids rode their bikes. Then we played catch in the backyard. Matt and I took some time to sit quietly and watch the trees. We had a delicious dinner; chicken with parsley, tomato, garlic, chicken stock, and parmesan cheese served over rice, with green beans, and a salad of tomato, cucumber, olives, red onion, and feta. No dressing, just a drizzle of olive oil. Then we had cupcakes for dessert. I talked with Matt's grandparents and my friends, Carmella, and Jason. It was a grand day.
Thankful for days that are grand and good and a healing balm for the soul.

Big Breakfast Sunday.
April 26, 2020
Day 1,306
Today was lovely. It was rainy and cozy. We spent this day watching movies, playing games, and eating good food. We went for several rainy walks. We cuddled on the couch. It was simple, but it was good. These are the slow, lazy days that I will miss and my heart will ache for when they're gone. Childhood moves swiftly. I need to remember to keep my eyes wide open. I don't want to miss a thing.
Thankful for:
-french toast made with brioche bread with strawberries on top, and sausage.
-"Big Breakfast Sunday." Matt thinks Sundays are for big breakfasts.
-homemade pizza.
-cupcakes.
-movies with the family.
-rainy walks down the driveway.
-umbrellas.
-the sound of Adelyn and Tobin running to catch up with me and Matt while we walk down the driveway.
-kisses.
-bedtime.
-time to read.
-time to write.
-time to crochet.
-time with family.
-time to be home.

a quiet, pleasant evening at home; the kids are watching a movie with apples, Matt's watching a show, and I'm going to take some time to write.
time for crocheting blankets.
my library; it's filled with words and books and things for writing. I love this room.
