Saturday

Today is one of those days where I'm just in awe of the simplicity of life. Other than the laptop and one singular light over the kitchen sink, there is nothing electric running in the house. It is sunny outside and that is flooding through the windows. The kids are cleaning their rooms... wait for it... happily. I'm sitting here, content with life. There are things I want but really, I'm happy. It's like God is just surrounding me with peace and I really like that. I have a dopey smile on my face :) I had a simple lunch of a bowl of rice. It's times like these when I wish I sang. I feel like I could just burst out in song. I don't know what song, but just something loud and soulful. For once in a long time, I don't even long to be with friends. I'm happy with our little family day. I think thats what it is that is making me happy today. It reminds me of my childhood. Here I am, with my kids, in the house where I grew up, spending a Saturday the way I did as a child, just having an easy day. I realize that I keep saying the same things over and over. I'm happy. But its all I have in me to type right now. I don't know what else to say. I love days where I don't have to do anything, that I can just sit here and think and play with my kids and just... be. I'm sure I'll have a lot to talk about later. I do go to court on Monday so that will inspire one or two um... interesting things for me to say. But for now, I'll say it again... I'm happy.
