Yesterday was such a good day, which isn’t always a given (it is January the sixth after all). Did you know my birthday has been dubbed “most depressing day of the year,” for a good portion of my life. It’s true. But yesterday was a really really happy day for me. Even though my baby pooped in the bath, and my husband is out of town for work, and then later in the day same baby put a hand in the toilet. Seriously, Ava?! It was good because, around 5 o’clock in the afternoon when I started to feel like my kids were little chickens pecking me to death, and the babe was crying and did not want to be put down, my sister showed up with balloons and cupcakes, and then my mom and my other sisters and their families. And I just decided I wasn’t going to care that everything wasn’t neat and tidy metaphorically and otherwise at that precise moment, and I was just going to enjoy life and the moment and especially the people around me. You know what, it was such an amazing night. And I think we have a great deal of control over how we feel in any given situation. Just so long as we decide. Put that in your New Years blender and juice it. ;-)
FYI- My sisters and I went and saw Saving Mr. Banks last night. Holy Cow. So good.
If you like Disney, or Tom Hanks, or Emma Thompson, or just great movies in general, go see it.
I happen to like all 4.
Happy Tuesday everyone. I’m wildly happy to be 31.
