Peace, Happiness and a New Year

[mleigh4]

Wanted to share a new change in me I notice lately...

When I have a bad day, it doesn't get me down. Yesterday morning my dog got sprayed by a skunk! Poor baby, I whipped up a mixture and cleaned her up, was 15 minutes late to work. Work is still crazy busy. Got a phone call from school, S has tummy ache and asked I get him. Picked him up, he made a miraculous recovery, so I took him back to work with me for a few hours. It was a hectic day....but....

I thought to myself...I was dumped and left by H with a 6 year old. I have risen above it wiser, stronger, nicer, friendlier and happier! A bad day is nothing!

I also catch myself with a smile on my face a lot. No reason, just feel happy. I hope this sticks!

Monday night, dropped off S with H. He was a chatty catty. Showed me his nifty laser again, you know, the one that does a laser light show. I played along and ooohed and awwwed. Didn't seem to want to stop chatting, but it was cold outside and I still had to go grocery shopping.

H was helpful with the skunk issue, he and S had a good laugh at my expense. That reminds me to mention that S has been very positive towards H lately. He has been telling me about his visits, things they do, and enjoying it. H had him shoot a bow and arrow, S was pretty excited he hit the target. Yesterday when I picked up S from school, he wanted to eat his lunch and exclaimed, now you can see what daddy packs in my lunch! I am happy to see this. I mentioned it to H in hopes he will keep it up and make him feel good.

Got crickets from H yesterday when I let him know I picked up S early from school. I was annoyed, but again, didn't get to me. He responded tonight. Lol. Just gotta shake your head.
