here on Clay Pit Creek...

I am grateful.... that dance is over! Over! Over! No more annoying emails, and I get to keep my $$$! Yay.

Beautiful, fresh, sunny day after all that rain. I'm grateful..... .....that Maddie's four hour recital is over. Man, that was long. ....grateful to Alan's parents and Donna for joining us. ....grateful for a lovely event to go to, and for Maddie's appreciation afterward. xoxoxoxo I know the teacher's tell them to thank us-but I'm glad she did, I'm glad she thinks about how we all work together to make all this dance happen, ....grateful that this seems like the end of dance, though? Maybe the end of Kick? I hope, I hope! I'm ready for her to move on to something new. ...grateful that I was able to hang in there for that hard class today. .....grateful for the beautiful Royal wedding this weekend.

Rainy, rainy.....the Color Run is postponed. That's a load off, for now. Another thing I read lately...your life can get progressively more simple or more complicated. You choose! I guess that's the thing-I choose, right? And I need to make good choices.

I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by my happiness, contentment, and all of this. Like I haven't really been alive all of these years and now I am? Like I let a whole huge part of myself be untended for  a long time. Or maybe it was growing, growing, growing all this time. One of the books that I read said if you are not connected with your body, you are not content because you are not really paying attention. I feel like I am paying attention to what is good finally, instead of what is missing. I feel like a switch flipped.

I'm grateful for a great day with my BFF. Where'd my baby body go? Excited for yoga today. Happy about this contented feeling I have all of a sudden. Where'd it come from? The yoga? The affirmations? Whatever, it's a good feeling. Madeline looked so beautiful sleeping in the sun this morning. Like a princess. I love her.

It's Mother's Day! I am grateful for my newfound peace and acceptance. I am enough. I don't know where this feeling came from....50 on the horizon, a years worth of yoga, listening to those positive meditations? But I am truly feeling like I don't need to prove myself anymore. That I don't really NEED anything. That I have everything that I need. -a loving family -a home that is warm and beautiful -a job that satisfies me -a yoga practice that keeps me sane. ;0

I am grateful... ...for a nice, new haircut and color. So fresh. ;0 ...grateful for this weather. wowie. ...grateful for lovely day in NYC on Weds. ...grateful a lovely anniversary. ...grateful for good friends!

I am enough.

I am grateful.... ...to Virginia and a great yoga session. ...for that extra little foot massage and extension! Thank you! ...grateful for a nice day yesterday-great day in NYC. Happy Maddie got some shorts! Happy to go out for dinner with my family. ....grateful for that tour of MHSS, cute girls ....grateful to get togheter with Kate tonight, on such a gorgeous day! ...and now I really want a nap.

I am grateful.... for yoga, hot and my new not hot spot in AH for meditation, positive affirmation videos on youtube-they work I am fearless, I am powerful, I am joyful, I am loved, I am enough! I am grateful for a day like today, grateful for a walk along the water. Beautiful day!
