Reverie

Today, I am alone in my house. My girls are at their Tuesday Thursday school. My daycare kids all are somewhere else today (an actual coincidence) and I am free to do what I want/need... until 2:30 at pick up time. First, I sent the girls to school with their Daddy for Donuts with Daddy day.

Then after drinking coffee and watching a show on my DVR... which I feel is a rarity, I got up and started painting on projects that are approaching their deadline.

Then I decided to take a break and check Facebook, browse Pinterest and enjoy the quiet in my house. This is my life. And it is amazing. For almost a decade I have had an idea of what my life should be. Money, big house, fancy job, helping make the world a better place. Can you see what is wrong with that list? I can see a lot of things wrong with it. I was going through life so fast that I didn't take the time notice, though. Once my life came to a stand-still and I was forced to think, I made the best decision of my life and decided to fix that priority list. My schedule today includes what is near and dear to me.... My girls, me time and then projects/work.

Since this shift, I am smiling a lot more. I feel like I should get on Facebook every day and tell everyone how happy I am. But I don't have to tell people. People can see it. And I am learning that this is a normal feeling. Other people feel the way I do and don't feel the need to post about it or yell it from the roof tops because this is how people deserve to feel. My paradigm has shifted and I realize this is 'normal'. I am realigning my life, I am relearning myself and I am enjoying every second of it. I am learning to Shine a Little. This is my daily reverie.
