Grace.

During one of my sporadic "blog browsing" sessions (a.k.a., "bad habit of checking my blog while I'm at work and getting hooked" sessions), I stumbled across a challenge that I would like to accept. It's called: Grace in Small Things. Basically, it serves as a daily reminder to take notice of the positive things we tend to overlook. I am choosing not to allow the noisiness of life to rob me of the time and energy to be mindful of myself and those I love and to recognize the grace that exists in small things. The challenge is to write 5 positive things that have graced my life (anything!) each day, and continue doing so for 365 days. However, I am not committing t0 365; rather, I would like to down-size the challenge and take it day by day. If I make it 10 days...great! 20 days...super! 50 days...I may have more time than I realize! 100 days...I probably better spend more time doing other things than blogging! You get the picture?! But for however long this lasts...it should be fun!

Grace #1

1) Sweet Tea
2) Fun game on Blackberry- this helps the time go by faster when I pump (10 minute sessions, every 3 hours...EVERY DAY...you can only imagine how slow it goes when I forget my phone and have to sit, breastpump in each hand, staring at the wall)
3) Two BIG windows in office
4) Cooking dinner with Brian while Rylie watches from her Planet Jumperoo
5) Warm weather
