We spent the weekend at the lake and had amazing weather. Being there always makes us feel better. We spent time with family that lives just down the lake, went to Chelan to eat Mexican, and spent a whole day boating with another couple with an adorable little boy that live down the street and have an awesome wake boarding boat.
When we got home we went straight to the pool and went again last night so we've been busy trying to enjoy summer.
Still not feeling great but trying. Trying to enjoy everyday ordinary moments of happiness. Like unexpected offers of kindness, my kids smiling, the hot sun, a comfy pillow.
Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples, and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.
