happiness experiment

Today I took a moment to read this notice that I pulled out of Greyson's backpack last week...

Oh great...  Greyson did not wear red yesterday- nor did he wear crazy socks today...

Clearly now everyone probably thinks that Greyson is in support of drugs- and probably me too.  Tomorrow I certainly need to try really hard to make sure his shirt is on backwards...I might have to go so far as to write myself a post it note for this one... I should probably wear my shirt backwards when I'm dropping him off too- to stop these vicious drug rumors from growing....and I will write another post it so remember to brush my hair before I drop him off in the morning so it doesn't look like I was actually doing drugs.

Today as I pulled into our garage from Grey's afternoon pickup THIS SONG came on (Phillip Phillips- HOME) and as the words trickled in the car they found all the empty spots in me and filled them up...

I had one of those moments...It felt like real and raw and actual happiness...Do you know those rare but real moments when everything works and is easy and just makes sense? There was a temporary absence of anxiety or worry... I turned around and saw two of the sweetest boys I've ever seen..and I turned the radio up loud and sang like I had an amazing voice.. It's like I came to and time stood still. It was one of my favorite moments today and I wanted to remember that feeling so I took a picture...to remind me that those moments will always exist.

Friend- Let's try that together...Our own private happy experiment...When you are in one of those moments of authentic and honest to goodness happy- take a picture of something--anything to remind you-- and to look back on...and if you find that you are not taking any pictures during the day- you need to dig out more happy... find opportunities to make it exist.

I had one more pure moment like that after Parker went to bed...It was just Grey and I cuddling on the couch...and I looked down to see his feet and legs casually and comfortably tangled in mine...The fact that he cuddles with me and clearly feels so safe...no words...It was the good kind of perfect...

Earlier today during our afternoon therapy we took some time to play outside... We had an on day... Greyson's eye contact was so good. We were laughing because he was actually acting like a model in a photo shoot...

Photobucket I said- Greyson, do this and made my best Zoolander face...

The hard moments and days are hard...but the good ones?  Well- it just doesn't compare...

Parker enjoyed eating sidewalk chalk and dunking balls.



It does go by so fast... It's hard to keep up sometimes...
