Chip came home from his Dad's shortly after I got in from Lakeside and we immediately got into a PIG basketball tournament on the little backboard in the den. I smoked him three games in a row, so of course he called for a best of seven tournament! I was devastating him with my hook shot, which I honestly have no idea how or why it works so well for me, but it does! I was spinning, swooping, flinging that ball and it was just dropping in the basket like I was Michael Jordan. Also, I came up with a new head butt foul shot that Chip couldn't make to save his life. He was getting fired up because I was making nonsense shots and he was struggling! I did a little bit of sassy talking because I knew he couldn't beat me four games in a row to win. You know what happened, right? Chip beat me. Four games in a row! His final shot was a head butt shot and I missed it! My go to shot! That is what I get for running my mouth!
It is a beautiful day in central Texas today, but look what is coming!!!!! Supposed to hit Monday night! Accumulation of 1/10 of an inch. Yeah, you read that right. 1/10 of an inch. If it is ice that could be problematic, but if it is snow we won't even be able to make a snowball!
Finally, I have been listening to Oprah's Super Soul Sunday podcasts for several months now and get to listen in on conversations she has with some of the most soulful, peaceful, beautiful people on earth. Something I have heard over and over again is that a lot of these soulful, peaceful, beautiful people practice gratitude religiously. I am going to try to learn from these folks and start a gratitude journal myself. I am going to write down three things a day that I am grateful for. I am going to keep the journal next to my bed and write in it every night before I go to sleep. Wanna join me? Let's see what happens when we start practicing gratitude on an intentional, regular basis! I think it is going to be good!
I could definitely write in my gratitude journal that I am so grateful to be writing again. I don't know why it makes me so happy to document these little moments in life, but it does. It really, really does. I usually don't even know what I am going to write about until I open up the page and start typing. I know it makes for some pretty choppy content for my poor readers because there is absolutely no plan, no rhyme or reason for who, what or why I write. Might also be why I can't ever think of a decent title. So, I leave you with my apologies for the chaos and my thanks for reading in spite of it!
Have a delightful day and even if you don't start an official gratitude journal....at least take a minute at some point in your day to think about what you are grateful for. I think that would work just as well!
