Finding Joy in the Mundane

I really try and have that as my mantra.  And because I am such a creature of habit, and do like my bubble, I am finding it pretty easy to feel content with my everyday.  I appreciate the beauty around me.  So a drive to the gym is always great-because Leucadia is my favorite street: I love that it's a hill, there are beautiful flowers and trees planted along it, and that there is a view of the gorgeous blue Pacific.  People are friendly and smiling here, so a trip to the grocery store is always happy.  We are financially secure, so shopping expeditions don't stress me out.  We've been here long enough that a trip to Target almost always means I'll see someone I know and get to catch up.  Our house is lovely-my favorite people are here, and Cita cleans it.  I love to cook-so for the most part I enjoy making our meals.  And if I'm not in the mood-we're fortunate enough to be able to go out and grab tacos.  I do appreciate the every day.  I am always grateful for what we have:  each other, our health, financial security, living in SD.  I don't take any of that for granted.
