Gratitude 

On this last day of the blogging challenge I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this challenge that forces me to find small parts of my day that stick out just enough to write about it. Grateful for waking up on this beautiful island on day two if our spring break vacation. Grateful for all the people I have around me everyday. Grateful for the opportunity I get to sit with the little humans and enhance their already wonderful minds. Grateful for my beautiful little family. And most importantly, grateful for this wonderful life.

    A great way to start my Sunday morning. I am grateful to be reading your post, sipping my coffee, and getting ready to attack several writing projects. I think I may begin a new gratitude journal this week. Thank you!

    Taking time to be grateful is an amazing thing for a person. Every one needs to be reminded of this simple thing to do daily!

“You don’t sound like your name is Ana.”

My husband and I have pretty tricky names. Tricky for others to pronounce and even trickier when people try to spell them. We are really spoiled with delicious takeout options  in the area where we live and will oftentimes order in on the weekends. I’m usually the one to place the orders via the phone because I have dietary restrictions (low carb diet). When placing the orders I always tell the person on the phone my name is Ana just to avoid any confusion and it works like a charm. This morning was different. I was up pretty early feeding my niece and my ever so thoughtful husband asked if I wanted some breakfast takeout. We usually never order out for breakfast but today was different. We were too tired to cook. He dials the number to our favorite breakfast spot that’s about two minutes away from home. He places our order and at the end the person on the other line asks him; “what name should I put this order under?” He replies without thinking; “Ana...” We hear a long pause unt...

Heaven... I’m in heaven

Today I spent the day in heaven. My Brother and sister-in-law agreed to let me babysit my brand new 6 week old niece, Alivia. I woke up at 6:30 in the morning after only having slept 4 hours to do my weekly house clean up so that i could dedicate the entire day to snuggling my beautiful niece. And boy did we snuggle (among other things)  We had a fun photo session, multiple feedings and a ton of snuggles. Nap time is the best part. I cradle her in my arms and I am in heaven listening  to her breathe and catching little smiles as she dreams little baby girl dreams. Reminds me of the song Cheek to Cheek  by Fred Astaire. “Heaven, I'm in heaven,   And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak...” I love you, Alivia!
