So today was a bit harder than i was expecting it to be... it is exausting being excited about things i just don't care for. I did however find delight in things that i normally take for granted.
This morning while putting on my makeup i noticed how much i like mascara on my eyelashes, and how full my lips look with a little gloss. Those simple things made me feel more feminine and gave me a self esteem boost that i needed. Next i did my daughter Kalistas' hair, that is a bit of a task in its self , one i dont necessairly like. She is a bit of a tom-boy and has always hated getting her hair done. Today she sat still and quiet and I loveingly and patiently did her hair, teaching her that it is ok to go out into the day feeling good about your self. I liked that alot. Later it was out to lunch with Uncle John, that is becoming a weekly ritual. The best part is that we are trying out all the places we have never eaten before. That i also like alot. It is an adventure to break out of the same old rut, even if it is only for one meal. The day is not over yet, and i still have to do several things i dont like to do, but i also get to do several that i like. Take a hot shower, read a book, snuggle with my husband, and sleep ...... oh yes, SLEEP.
