Sometimes I overlook the simple things that make us happy. The other day, I might have had possibly the best date ever with Matt and we really didn't do much to achieve it.
It was one of those days where it was ungodly hot out, and instead of being AC bums we decided to actually enjoy the day together and played outside. even through the immense heat, we played catch and even took a walk around the lake. That wasn't even the best part! Once we were all hot and sticky, we sat beneath a tree in the shade and looked at clouds, something I personally haven't done since childhood.
It was amazing! seriously, the simplest things are what makes me truly happy. When things get rough or I'm stressed out between work and school, I just need to remember this day, and remind myself that the simple joys in life are what I need to be happy.
I guess I will stop being a lurker, and leave a comment. Haha! Having kids is the most amazing way of rediscovering life's simple pleasures. Watching Ava get excited about popping bubbles, or Alice smile simply because we talk to her reminds me daily of all of life's wonders. Watching the girls learn new skills also reminds me of how far we must come to do what seems so simple to us now. That alone makes me appreciate more of he simple things.
