Yesterday, when I was feeling a little yucky, I decided to think of those things or moments that have given me a great feeling. Whenever I’m doing something that makes me feel really good and SO happy to be alive, I try to make a mental note so that I can go back to it. Here’s a list, in no particular order;

The smell of the ocean
The sound of the ocean
The feel of the sand and the water at the beach
Driving along the water in a convertible on a beautiful day

Holding Luke-Xavier, just after birth

Holding my, just-delivered baby

Snuggling with a little one who’s got their arms wrapped around my neck SO tight
Listening to Rod Stewart music blaring when I’m alone in the house
Music, all genres
Right after Reconciliation
The feeling of knowing that Clay’s coming home THAT day from a deployment
Surprises
Sushi
Being the first one up in the morning and stepping outside into the quiet of the day
Watching/listening to people perform and knowing they’re giving it all they’ve got

I hope you each have a great day and that you each have a great list of wonderful things to pull from to make those yucky days better~

    That pic of Max has been my Desktop background for a few days now. =) I hope this transition goes very smooth for you, and I hope you have a few more lists for when it’s hard. Even though they were not my thoughts or experiences they are all so beautiful and peaceful. We all need to remember those moments.

    Again your strength amazes me!

    Hope you have a great day also.
