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
