Brrrr this morning, even Maddie went back to bed after a bathroom break.
So I’ll snuggle my coffee instead.
I plan on starting my day early but wanted to start with a fur baby snuggle and a cup to warm me up.
Mondays tend to be the busiest day of the week. It’s considered the first day of the work week, although Sunday is the first day of the week. We love Sunday.
A day of rest, worship, family.
Any day of the week can be your day of rest. Society today has made the work week crazy. 24 hrs., open on holidays and weekends. Maybe that’s what has torn families apart.
No time to spend together.
Both parents working to make ends meet.
Crazy schedules.
Working the holidays.
Coming home from work to sleeping babies and a tired spouse.
Leaving for work before the sun rises and returning after sun set.
Sometimes I think the world has spun off its axis, flinging us in all directions.
I miss the cousins, aunts and uncles at grandma’s house.
I miss meals around the table with mom and dad, sister and brother.
I miss all of us sitting in the front yard with the neighbors, listening to the crickets, cicadas and catching lightning bugs.
That was a lifetime ago.
Times have changed but so have we.
I should have fought back more to have those things for my children and grand children.
A simpler time.
I think I have reached a point in my life where I just want to declutter.
Not just my house, but my life, job, circle.
Clean out toxic people and things.
Pull out the hidden gems and display them. Let them bring happiness and smiles from memories once again.
Keep what I need and makes me happy.
Work on retiring the crazy life and settling into the life of crickets, cicadas and lightning bugs.
Love big.
Lorene
