Life sometimes throws you curveballs...there are times when I don't know what decision to make...and I find myself stressing over it, again and again and again. Feeling very overwhelmed these days...and realizing that I need to remember the things that make me happy, the things that make me smile, and sometimes, the things that make my heart skip a beat....
- walkers bed head
- rebekkahs STILL toothless smiles
- abby's neverending chubby cheeks
- going for a good run
- making dinner and it being a success
- impromptu dinners-out with my parents
- nathan's kisses
- back rubs, foot rubs, neck rubs, all of the above! ha!
- the laughter of children
- my kids using their imaginations
- a clean house
- baking a good treat
- feeling sore the day after having a hard workout
- playdates at the park
- hiking
- being outdoors
- a good rootbeer
- long talks with my hubby
- good conversations with friends/family
- hearing my nephew wesley talk
- seeing pictures of my brothers cute families
- taking a shower before 9pm at night
- pedicures (although it doesn't happen very often)
- memories of my childhood
- motorcycle riding
- nature, trees, birds, flowers
- my hubby whispering i love you in my ear every morning b4 leaving for work
- bike rides with my kids every morning
- scrapbooking (doesnt happen very often either!)
- playing catch with the kids
- reading a good book
- hearing walkers words...babby (abby), baby, woof woof, oocy (lucy), pease? (please), taytoo (thank you), ekah (bekkah), daddy, mommy, hey!, owie, bite?!, drink, more, at (hat), ot (hot) just to name a few!
- putting makeup on, doing my hair and actually being dressed
- meditating and relaxing
- bubble baths
- the sound of my hubbys motorcycle in the driveway

Yay! for a new post.. and it's interesting that we both had the same "blah" feeling, only we posted it (expressed it) so differently.. ahhhh days!
and she DOES SMILE yes.
That is a good list and a good reminder to us all to focus on all the good we have.
Well another thing we have in common stressing over things we are thinking of.
It's always good to remember your blessings and especially when it feels like things are weighing down on you. I heard it said the other day that when it feels like something is coming to an end, something else is ALWAYS READY TO BEGIN.
I loved reading your list!
Such a fun list! You always have such creative things to blog about! Keep it up, Anissa!
IT'S TRUE...WHEN YOU REMEMBER ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS IT PICKS YOU UP AND YOU CAN DEAL WITH ALL THE OTHER STUFF. JUST REMEMBER, IT WILL ALL WORK OUT.

this post! What a great list! Let me just tell you how lucky you are w/ the back rubs/foot rubs (assuming they're from Nathan). I still don't know how that topic never came up in the dating process w/ Jess. That should be a prerequisite for all men!!
