SUCH a good movie by the way. And I would marry either of the brothers. (Yes that made my friends choke on laughter yesterday... and yes I would wait till Hiro got the proper age).
Yesterday was bliss filled. I woke up, treated myself to delicious Kava House coffee, and spent the day with my poor nauseated beyond belief friend. I changed diapers, folded laundry, played with small children, and even managed to get in a school lecture. I also made birthday banana chocolate chip muffins and most of the dinner, so when her husband got home we all ate a satisfying meal. Have I mentioned I like feeding people? And he brought home flowers for me. I LOVE FLOWERS! We also listened to epic music, read a confusing bible (the artist was confused... the 2 year old got fixated on a tree that was very odd. It was pink, look like it had a mouth, and was bent... so he reckoned someone had "throwed it". Yes try imagining how someone makes a tree look like that! Ha), and I got dragged in and out of a (real) truck to rescue (imaginary) cats from trees and put out (imaginary) fires. Did I mention I love children?
We also watched Big Hero 6... which somehow... none of them had seen. I love watching good movies with people who haven't seen them.
And my cousin posted a hysterical meme with anime Sherlock texting Happy Birthday for me.
Aw.
I was also touched by my family's sudden FB mania. It's sucked them in and I can't stop laughing. Not to mention my guy friends called me successively at way too late of an hour... I was shocked and touched that they were the ones to call... not my girl friends. My niece and nephew also called with lots of singing and jumbled talk that had to be translated by my brother. Aside from that my phone blew up with texts... and I was probably most moved that my friend who I've had so much pain over... left me a gorgeous card on my porch.
Anyway, I could probably keep going, but this isn't really beneficial to anyone. What I have learned is the practice of extrapolating contentedness. We often think... oh I won't be happy until I'm loved by this person, or doing this thing, or accomplished with this. I've begun to realize we can be happy with anything if we set our mind to it (As Abraham Lincoln was supposed to have said. "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be") So I want to be a housewife with seven children? I got that yesterday. I want to feel loved and cherished by one guy? Why one? Why guy? I've got dozens of friends who adore and cherish me... I can be plenty happy with that. In fact, I don't need much. The Lord will provide. And that is more than enough.
