My birthday. S left early this morning for the rest of the week. A is at 6th grade camp. So in a way, it's a quieter, more mellow day-so I'll appreciate that rather than be sad we're all not together. I don't know if a Torrey Pines hike is in the cards for today. Not really sure what I want to do. I have a few errands to run. Target, SDA, the bank. Laundry. Bills. Kind of mundane. But I love my everyday life-and that meme really resonated with me: "Someone is dreaming about your life". So true. I have an amazing husband, 4 wonderful children, we have our health, a beautiful home, in a gorgeous area, we're financially secure, have great friends and family. So I'm perfectly happy to run my errands, supervise homework and take G to a skateboard lesson. And for dinner? Hmmmm. Not sure what really sounds good. Nothing currently. Something Asian? Takeout always seems to wilt. But not sure the big kids can take the time to go out for dinner. Whatever. I don't really care. 49. Reflect on that for a moment. I've loved my 40s. I really have. I just need to continue to work on getting into better shape for my 50s. I want to be able to travel, and be flexible. It freaks me out that currently if I get down onto the floor it feels impossible and painful to try and get back up. On the plus side, my knees haven't been achey when I wake up in a while. And S said I'm not snoring (unless the ac is running) so I am REALLY happy about that. And in that pic my parents sent of us on Rosh hashanah, I'm focusing on my face (which actually looks really good-I do love my hair darker) and how gorgeous all those kids are and how tall B is-he's kind of towering over the rest of us: crazy.
1pm. I've had the loveliest, most peaceful morning. I laughed with K & H after drop off. I made myself a yummy breakfast. I watched a little Walking Dead. I cleaned up the house. I ran my errands. I talked on the phone with friends-which was just lovely. I took myself to the Meditation Gardens for about 20 minutes and did actually meditate. So peaceful and lovely and wonderful. This afternoon is G & Mom time. Then off to the Y for skateboard, and I get to hang out with Steph, which will be great. Something for dinner. And early bedtime for me since last night was kind of awful sleep-wise. I am so grateful for my life. How blessed I am to have all that I have.
