The name of this blog, Swinging from the Vine, was inspired by John 15 (specifically verse 5) “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
If the blog goes down today, that’s why
| "Things that make me feel alive" |
|
This weekend was a mixed bag. But it reminded me of things that make me feel alive.
- Connecting with new like-minded people
- Having amazing conversations with said people
- Observing my children at their absolute best - compassionate, empathic, respectful, bold
- Observing my children at their absolute worst - selfish, demanding, disrespectful - and then hearing a spontaneous humble, teary apology before going to sleep
- Apologizing to my child for being at my absolute worst when she was at her absolute worst
- the “I love you’s” that follow true apologies
- The great outdoors and observing my kids enjoying the great outdoors
- Eclectic people
- Earth Day
- Bright colorful organic locally grown food
- Girlfriends who “get” me….and love me anyway
- Margaritas
- Grandparents
- Walking in the spring sunshine
- Snuggles from my toddler
- Kisses from my husband
- My laid back and infinitely fun faith community
May your week be filed with life-giving experiences
