Good morning y'all!
I wanted to take the time this morning to remind everyone how little blessings creep up in the most low key kind of ways sometimes.
As we all know Coronavirus has caused headaches across the globe. From quarantine, mask wearing and social distancing. It has put a wrench in the way everyone lives their day to day lives.
And while some states are in higher phases than others, more and more restrictions are being lifted, even if only a little.
My friend circle, my adult conversations, my social life out side of my 10 and 12 year olds has been minimal. Its depressing! Not because I don't thoroughly enjoy my childrens company. But sometimes you need ME time. Time to renew yourself.. I love my children, but sometimes I long for a conversation about something other than Harry Potter or what Barbie ate for lunch. Yes y'all, this is real life!
Sometimes I long to be in the company of other adults, other than my husband who comes home from work exhausted and then has to mow the lawn, fix the boat trailer or mend a fence. Life before Covid allowed these things, but we as the busy humans we are took many of these things for granted.
But yesterday, when a friend asked the girls and I to come over to swim with her and her son. I couldn't say no!
So grateful to hangout with someone with whom I could talk to, vent to, laugh with and enjoy a leisurely afternoon with. The kids laughing and splashing, playing and being mermaids.
It was a perfect afternoon! Much needed in more ways then "Hey, my kids need to burn off some energy." If that makes sense.
I love hanging out with the amazing friends I have here. They may not even know how grateful I am for them!......You see, I moved here several years ago, away from my friends of over 20 years, away from everything that felt normal to me. But for some reason I still haven't opened myself up enough to have that tight group of ladies like I had back home. You know, the ones that I can tell anything to, call at 3am with a flat tire (I don't know why I'd be out at 3am, but you know what I mean), come over uninvited, have dinner with eachothers families all the time. Etc.
Its my own fault for being shy at times or maybe just closing myself off.
But yesterday, I just let go of whatever reason it is that I find myself on day trips just me and the kids or at home just me and the kids and truly enjoyed the company of a great friend and all our kiddos.
Such a random act of kindness from a friend can be such a blessing♡
