Things That Are True - Grace in Small Things

After yesterday's bummer of a post I thought I'd do my part today to wage the battle against embitterment.

The Imp's choice of attire for a lunch out yesterday

1. A slow, lazy day with The Imp and HWSNBN today, with nothing more pressing to do than drop off laundry and hang out in a coffee shop. It's been a while, and it felt good.
2. Abbott Laundromat. Their inexpensive drop off service is a small luxury that basically saves our marriage every weekend.
3. The adorable thirteen month old in the coffee shop today, who thought big-kid-Imp was all that.
4. The Imp rising to the occasion and sharing his book and stickers with the adorable thirteen month old unprompted.
5. Non shoutiness, and today being much better than yesterday.

Inspired by Schmutzie's Grace in Small Things. That Schmutzie is the conduit of much internety goodness.

Things That Are True - Grace in Small Things

Inspired by Schmutzie, who created Grace in Small Things to "wage a battle against embitterment", I thought I'd take a second to slow down today and think about some of the little things that bring me joy. In no particular order:

1) What started out as a horrible day turned into an inadvertent afternoon attendance at a Theatre Sports performance, which made me laugh my bad mood right out of existence. Also my headache.

2) Asking The Imp what he likes and having him happily reply, "I like EVERYTHING!" Way to be, kid.

3) No bedtime shenanigans today.

4) The Imp's fever is gone.

5) I finally got my little 4x6 photo printer working again. Hurray!
