random thoughts

...sometimes the best argument for using the french press for real, good, coffee is when you open the top to the conventional coffee pot to add the water and "pre-set" it the night before so you will wake to the smell of it and you see a cockroach peeking it's head up over the edge..... way to keep me on the "will not compromise quality for convenience path!"

...sometimes the best way to ensure 30 minutes of walking outside a day with no excuses is to adopt a very sweet, big dog who needs two walks a day to keep him feeling happy and settled... way to keep me in shape Deezyl!

...sometimes when you're falling asleep at night thinking, "boy, I need to spend some good quality time with my son, one on one, we"ll have to plan a date.," you wake up to a little boy with a cold just bad enough that he shouldn't go to school and just mild enough that you can fit in three rounds of ocean bingo and a huge floor puzzle in the middle of the afternoon." way to make it happen little man!

....sometimes when you're wondering about all of the running around, your "tiny dancer" all dressed in costume for her recital says she needs to practice after the photo shoot at the dance studio. Even though it's bedtime, you watch in amazment at her natural rhythm, groove and total pleasure of performing. Way to get Mommy all excited to see you do your big show on Saturday little ballerina!

...sometimes when you sit down at your computer after dropping off the kids you look up to a small note that simply says I heart you. ...way to fill me up for the day babe! I love you too.

and sometimes all it takes is renewing your gym membership to make you feel like you can do anything and you have a free pass to the best spa in the whole world!... Way to appreciate the post weight training steam room, hot tub and sauna that you now have unlimited access to.

Thank you for this beautiful day! I intend to enjoy every minute.
