This is becoming difficult. I think I will have to start reminding myself "This is a pleasurable experience" rather than trying to reflect the following day. From what I remember:
1.) Cleaning and tossing. I started cleaning yesterday evening. Major cleaning. I've felt like I was living in a huge laundry pile for the past few weeks. And starting Monday, with the big Wii give-away, I began the process of sorting through what I really need. Last night I realized that a few things that were unnecessary. I threw out some things and set others aside to give-away. All aspects of my house look better and I feel so much more peaceful in my house
2.) While I was cleaning, I ran across some important journals from my time when I was speaking with a therapist and life-coach. It was insightful and fun to read what was important to me 5 years ago. Some of these items are still important to me. A few of the items that made me smile:
1.) become a dog handler (check)
2.) teach Trinity to be more social. It was always a work in progress :)
Savoring a normal experience:
Sitting on the floor with the dogs. When I came to their level, they automatically started interacting with me. Before they were sleeping. Kahlan came over and jammed her head into the space between my armpit and where I was sitting on the carpet. She flipped herself over and enjoyed being petted. Mira brought me a peace offering in the form of a ball.
Also, looking at the statistics for my blog, I am especially happy by the "repeat visits" that I occassionally see in the logs. While I don't know their origin, Council Bluffs Iowa, Dayton, Ohio, Boulder, Colorado, and California come to mind. I appreciate your anonymous browsing.
