Simple Things

It's late. I need to keep my commitment to blog. I've had something to share all week and haven't gotten it done. First of all, let me say that I just haven't felt myself this week. I've had a hard time processing things and have found myself frustrated about simple things like planning a meal. I just feel like my brain has been unplugged or something. I don't know if it's just a lack of sleep, Seasonal Affective Disorder, or what. It's been a long week. It feels like it should be Friday not, not Thursday night.

I've struggled to find highlights from each day to write in my journal. However, I have a couple highlights to share that may seem silly to you. They are things that have made me feel good this week. Today, I wore a cardigan sweater that used to be my husband's. It's given me great comfort all through the day. Every time I would pull the sweater tighter around me, it felt like my husband was hugging me. I've loved wearing it today!

Earlier in the week, I received a gift in the mail. I have a great deal of affection for sporks. You know...those fork/spoon hybrids that some fast food restaurants make available. My school cafeteria even has them. I love it! I don't know what it is about sporks. But I think they are an awesome eating utensil! Well, my husband found a blue (my favorite color) titanium spork online!!!! That's right, boys and girls. I can wash it and reuse it over and over again. It's a spork-lover's dream! I've already taken it with my lunch this week. I'm taking it again tomorrow. Knowing it's sitting in my Hello Kitty lunch bag just waiting for me to eat lunch tomorrow makes me look forward to the day. My love language is not gifts. But my husband loves making me happy. May I work to make him as happy as he makes me.

I'm sorry that's all I have for you tonight. Hopefully my brain will be connected better next week and I can offer you something a little more profound.

Until then...
