Five things that made me happy today:

1. Max and Ruby had great days at school. They are both excited about being back in the stir of things!

2. We picked up Mañin Soto’s bag at Dallas Love Field after his flight from HOU was cancelled last night and he drove home this morning. Everyone went. I’ve now been immersed in that family habit so long that I don’t consider it strange any more. (All the kids accompanying the parent on an errand.)

3. The boys had crab legs and shrimp to celebrate everyone being back home. Boy, was the seafood yummy. I had a taste.

4. The clouds today were spectacular. Like special effects. Makes me think of Wyeth’s The Giant. Several years ago my therapist had a very large print in her office. I always tried to sit facing it in group. I had some amazing breakthroughs in front of that print.

5. I organized some school things for Max and Ruby. (Organizing for ME that concerns THEM, to make it clear.) Although this is my umpteenth school year, I still don’t know what is the best way to organize dates, notes, homework, teacher meetings, etc. Surely, I can keep track of two kids in high school, right?

And you? I’d love to hear what made you happy today.

Keep going.
