Just want to hold this moment
I'm seated on a big fluffy Zepplin pillow. My beautiful sweet dog is sleeping on the floor at my feet. I've just watched a fun romantic comedy chick flick after I got off the phone with a friend who called to wish me well with my sweetheart. My friend knows us both and is very happy to see our relationship give us both a lot of joy.
Tonight Ex invited me over for dinner. It was really good. I sat at his new table and enjoyed a meal that Ex prepared for the DC and me. The mood was cordial. Friendly even. We were able to show love to each other even though we aren't together anymore.
This weekend I took my DC camping. I've not done tent camping in years! But we did it! While we huddled together to keep warm in the cold, DC told me "Mom this is the best birthday ever." Oh and I've learned a bonus from having a big dog. They help keep your family warm at night! I've always been a 'no pets on the bed' person. But in 40 degree weather in a tent, I'll make an exception!
I got caught up on sleep today and the DC and me had a lazy day snuggling on the sofa with the dog and watching movies. I even slept through church. Ssssh! Don't tell! (giggle) This corporate gig had been kicking my butt with long days with 6 hours of sleep night after night and after a short night of camp sleep, I was heavy-lidded and ready for some Zzzs.
Before we left on our trip, my car needed to go in the shop and I couldn't get off work to take it. My awesome parents gave me a ride to work and babysat my car at the shop.
Simple pleasures. Sleep. Dinner with my family. Talking to people who love me..my sweetheart and friends. Bonding with my pet. My awesome parents. Finding out that even though Ex and I are divorced, we and the children are still a family.
All of this is grace, pure grace. And I am thankful.
I am more loved now than ever before.
More cherished
more respected
my deep heart is truly seen and heard.
My heart is so full! I just want to hold this moment. <3
