Today I am grateful for for moments of calm. As I was doing my 5 min meditation it was was on letting go and as I kept easing into it I could feel the tension in my body. I didn't even realize I was holding onto tension in my arms and shoulders. As I was able to keep meditating I could release more and more. What a relief to let go even of the physical things and burdens.
This one is so silly, but life altering - Headphones!! I love being able to block everything out and just focus on one thing. I'm pretty sure baby Jude is awake BUT I don't have to be sure of it or distracted by him or my guilt of not getting him because my head phones are in and I have music going and it's so lovely to just be by myself for a few moments before the day begins in earnest.
PRESENT - I am learning so much about this word. I am trying so hard to be more present. One way that I do this is not even my choice! Baby Jude loves to take me on my daily walk - multiple times daily. He grabs my hand and takes me where he wants. With the direction of Tiffany Roe as I walk with him I try and look at what he looks at. He is my example of being present. His discovery is so delightful and unexpected. It allows me to notice the newness of the mundane and regular.

*yesterday as I was studying my scriptures I came across the word grace that made me think of Alana and I took the time to send her a little message. I want my nieces and nephews to know they are loved.
*BJ called and asked me to help with wedding flowers and I told him I couldn't. I hated doing it but I know it was the right call. Then Barbie was asked and it hurt my feelings for a minute but I still know that it was correct to do. Only I know my situation and I don't have to be everything for everyone.
*Curtis armstrong started school teaching yesterday and we went and bought him socks and we all cannot wait to give them to him tonight.
