Enjoyment

It's been so long since I have had so much enjoyment in my life. I'm not saying I haven't had enjoyment but lately I've noticed so much and I have been having so much fun. This past weekend I spent with some close friends and we had a blast visiting, and creating.  It was like I was 16 and at a slumber party the entire weekend. We spent the weekend at a scrap booking retreat and while pumping page after page out we laughed till we cried and talked about everything and everything. We decided a few weeks ago that we would sleep in one of the girls trailers (praying the weather would cooperate) we stayed up late scrapping and then up even later talking while falling asleep.
     There's something about who you surround yourself with that affects who you are. I have been having so much fun these past few months and I credit to who I've been spending my time with. I have also noticed a shift in my kids. They fight less, they are more respectful and happy. I've also mimicked myself taking in the little moments. Helping a friend with a birthday cake, going through the car wash with the kids or just noticing the smile on a 2 year olds fave as she jumps in a puddle for the first time.

      Having also taken a lesson from a huge Disney movie at the moment I have learned to let things go. I've been struggling with a few things this past year and have learned recently that I need to let it go and embrace the here and now, embrace me and the other people I enjoy being around. Letting the dark cloud follow you around will make you feel like a certain blue donkey. I'm done feeling like that and am going to embrace the light and the love, let it go and move on.
