Tid bits ...

Today I am a professional salsa dancer and 50’s flapper girl … no judging – we all have to find fun in our day where we can! Started Hip Hop again yesterday with KRISTA Yipppeee … How many laughs would be missing in my life without that goofy gorgeous girl!

My friends are the sweetest … I feel I can giggle at this because it is so true and their hearts are in the right place. I feel like they are treating me like a little kid who has fallen and hit their head so hard that the thud vibrated through the house and everyone immediately gasps and turns … but that you all wait and see how the child is going to react before you do. It is like they are holding their breaths, giving each other concerned glances out of my view, but allowing me to react how I need to without placing any expectations on me as to how I should be reacting … and rightfully so because even I can't predict when the tears are going to fall and when I can joke. Last night it was because I forgot to get my hummus … one always need hummus on hand … silly hummus girl! Good sign I can laugh about it today – what a difference a sunny day can make!

Speaking of laughing … one of the favorable things about having cute, young construction boys out your window is that they laugh, a lot, and loud! I do realize that I would likely not be as entertained if I knew what they were laughing at … but I don’t … so I laugh too … one guy throws his whole body back … it is fabulous! Not that I ever watch ; )

I love geese. Today there was one lone loose goose booting it across the skyline … what would separate a goose from its flock? It gave me the same ‘something must have gone wrong’ feeling that you get when you see one lone footless shoe on the road.

Today Kirst's sweet little girl Tayah was playing with playdough. Her grandma had cut out a heart for her and she picked it up and stuck it on her heart and smiled ... could she be any sweeter? Nope!!

H,

To experience mere pieces of your day through your words warms my heart like a hot cocoa after a day outside in the snow. I love that you present the whole you - the fact that you wonder at a lone goose, laugh at cute men out your window, or cry over hummus - it is Heather: transparent, real, vulerable....and ever so alive.

I am doing my best to find the good things in my life and cherish them. I love deeply. I laugh hard (so hard I sometimes snort). I still dream and believe that dreams are meant to be followed. I try to depend on God. I have so much to learn. I hope.
