Anna, Mark, and I just watched the third (modern) Tinkerbelle movie. I have to say, those movies are good! The first one, a couple of years ago, I was skeptical, thinking, Well, this is mine. But, as I said, they're really good!
Even though Anna and I are both sick (really sick--a nasty virus), and our vacation plans have been scuttled, there's still sweetness to be found. I need to remember that in my every day, chronic pain and illness existence. The good moments are there to be had, if we just look for, and take them.
My friend, The Goddess (who lives in Olympus), recently posted how it's her goal to say yes this year--especially to those parent things that there's no real reason to say no (You with me, parents? Things like leaving couch cushions out over night {groan} and playing the 50th game of Go Fish {I'd rather get the dishes done.}.) I love that! I, too, have tried to do that, but over time, it's drifted. But my friend has motivated me to bring that back to the fore.
At times, my life tends to be, for me, about what I can't do because of my physical limitations. But, you know, there's a whole lot of important things I can do! Things more important than vacuuming, or lifting, or...sitting upright. Or, speaking, apparently.
I can show love.
