My favorite quote for today . . .

"Those who bring sunshine

to the lives of others

cannot keep it

from themselves."

What day is it?

The days, they're an kind of blending together. See, we're right in the middle of this quarantine and you'd think I would have all the time in the world in my hands to blog, blog, blog. But it hasn't worked out that way.

Turns out I am full time homeschooling again, only I don't get to choose the curriculum,or assignments. 🤨  So, there's a lot of math. And other things related to being the Mom, like making sure we have food to eat, etc.

I've also spent faaarrrrr too much time obsessing over the news, keeping tabs on statistics, being disgusted with our country's "leadership" and that sort of thing. It's kind of par for the course during a worldwide pandemic, but I'm trying to re-focus myself to documenting daily happiness and grattitude.

So, surprise, I got derailed. But I HAVE been keeping track of our days and going to catch up, retroactively with what we've been up to during this time at home and life continuing on.

The beauty in my days the last month had been found in many things, but a lot of it can be attributed to the beautiful spring weather and blossoms that we're enjoying.

Today, as I watered our yard and plants in gorgeous 75 degree weather, I appreciated the gentle breeze, the freshly cut grass and the blooms of some of our flowers.





It's the little things today that are a big deal to me. 

It's not lost on me that I'm incredibly fortunate to have a safe home to quarantine in with my family. We have plenty to eat, our needs are met.  We are healthy and safe. Really, what more can we ask for during scary, uncertain times when so many people in the world are sacrificing so much? Not much.
