do you ever have those things, those moments, that give you that sudden I LOVE MY LIFE!! kinda feeling? gosh. those are the best! i think about these moments a lot, because you can’t choose them, or make that feeling happen. that’s why they’re the best. and for me, they’re always the most simple moments.
i get that feeling a lot when i’m driving down an open road on a sunny afternoon,
or when i’m poolside on a hot day with all of my siblings together.
in college i would get that feeling when i’d be with a bunch of my friends, and the best song would come on, and we’d be singing and dancing, and i would think, gosh, this is really the best ever!
now i get that feeling at the end of the day, when i snuggle up with my husband and baby girl and realize i get to do the whole thing again when we wake up in the morning. and! i get to have coffee when i wake up! i honestly get excited about that every night.
i get that feeling when i look over happy photos and realize how darn good the good moments really are. [they sure help you overlook the bad ones!]
if i’m being really honest… i would have to say that cheese sometimes gives me a good i love life kinda excitement. i love cheese a lot.
i get that feeling when i’m barefoot, watching a summer sunset at the farm [i definitely get it the most in the summertime!],
or when it’s cold outside, and i’m hiding from the chill, snug in a blanky with a glass of wine, watching the christmas lights sparkle.
i got that feeling yesterday, sitting outside in nature with my little lady happily enjoying the animals and the fresh air in nothing but her diapey.<
i even had it the other night while i was peeling a sweet potato and thought about how much i love it when steven misspells things on the grocery list. haha. i love it because it makes me laugh. his latest is “raisans.” my all time FAV was “penut butter,” haha! and i think there was a banana with a lot of n’s at one point. i know it’s just that he’s hurrying and not paying attention, and i’m glad because it gives me a good giggle! and it kinda softens his sometimes intense “mr. perfect” exterior. he is a mr. perfect. so anyway. i love him. i looove him. and sorry babe, sorry i told these.
and really, i mostly get that feeling when i’m just relaxing at home when my husband and baby and i think that i should probably just freeze time because it can’t possibly get any better.
hope you have a good i love my life moment this weekend!!
