Joy

So it's Thursday, nothing on my calendar except Felipe and Natalya.  So by the end of today our house should be clean and the yard picked up and de-weeded.  Yay!

Checking email this morning and I have 100-something incoming so I want to go through those and read all the art blogs I subscribe to, tend to those matters pending, and write to a person Anje has referred me to who is having an art thingee this summer and wants artists to participate.  So, good day for busy work and maybe will do some painting.

I sometimes wonder how I got here, to this place in my life.  I recall my past; growing up as a shy, and really introverted girl, marrying young her first boyfriend, then having children because that's the next step, then taking back her independence to reclaim some sense of herself without others directing her life.

Fast forward to 2013 and I have my knight in shining armor, 2 wonderful daughters that I am so proud of, and I am authentically me.  Why do I get this life?  I think anyone can have it.  It's the attitude, the attitude of finding joy in everything one experiences.
