I think I have discovered one of the best feelings on Earth for me....
When I look around my house and I see the following:
My living room is bathed in the soft glow of lamplight;
Both of my sweet babies are fed, bathed, teeth brushed and actually smiling, laughing at each other and playing nicely together in their comfy p.j.'s; (In my opinion cuddling a freshly bathed child is very near heaven on earth.)
My husband is sitting comfortably in his chair laughing out loud at something silly one of the kids said or did...I love to hear him laugh out loud...his voice is SO deep it always takes me by surprise and I can't help but laugh too; (Him sitting in his chair is a big deal because he rarely sits down for more than 2 seconds and when he does want to sit usually someone or somedog is always in his chair so he RARELY ever gets it that seat.)
My fat Cocker Spaniel is snoring happily on a CLEAN floor because my house is actually CLEAN.
Ahhh....that described how this evening was and most evenings around here....well....except the clean house part....that was a little extra treat tonight....I need to work on that being an every evening characteristic and I need to sit back and enjoy my blessings more than I do!!!!!
Oh Joy, I love your happy posts! You are so much better at appreciating the little things in life than I am.
