haha! I noticed I had a drafted blog that I'd never published. Perhaps I was so tired I thought I should reread later before deciding to publish or not. It does make me think about the battles I engage in - trying to see the sunny thankful side of life even when there's some real struggles to complain about. Not sure if I managed to keep my thumbs up that groggy December day...It must have been okay though, I can't recall this particular day.
What a relaxing day we are having here. (Read: Confession, the kids have been watching too much backyardigans.) It was so beautiful to sit under my wool blanket on the couch with a cup of coffee early this morning. (Read: the baby got up way too early and I had to struggle to open my eyes while she played around on the floor) I decided we would not be hard on ourselves today. (Read: I haven't been getting enough sleep and have reached a point of complete exhaustion. She was up repeatedly for long periods of time.) We will let the day unfold as it will, and not give thought to any to-do list or goals. (Read: I will attempt to keep guilt out, although likely there will be some, in which I accuse myself of being lazy) We will count blessings today, no matter how small they are and we will smile. (Read: The only plan I have for the day, is to not get discouraged, because, remember, I am severely sleep deprived.) I will remember Johnny Breggers Two Thumbs Up that I listened to with Neve so early this morning.
I know its early
But I'm awake
I've got to get up and
start my day.
I hear birds singing
and now I'm singing too.
Oh, what'll I do?
I've got two thumbs up today
and that's exactly how
I want it to stay.
Yep, just keeping my thumbs up today. And that's okay.
