It's the simple things in life...

Friday seemed like a particularly long day for me. It was work as usual and then my weekly trip to Walmart for groceries. I had Collin in tow, and of course he was hungry in the store, and feeding him while steering the cart is always a bit of a challenge. It seemed more crowded than usual and I had to buy to stuff for Ethan's birthday party. Anyway, I finished up at the grocery and drove home to an empty house, as the other boys were still at karate. When I got home, instead of turning on the monotony of the television, I flipped on the radio instead. This instantly put me in a better mood as I started putting away groceries and making dinner. Soon after, my boys got home. We cranked up the radio a bit more and the three of us (me, Ethan and Drew) had ourselves a dance party in the kitchen. We were laughing, singing and jumping around like crazy. Sometimes life gets hard and stressful. Sometimes you get into a rut. And sometimes doing something as simple as dancing with your children can change it all up and offer a new perspective. It cost no money and made all of us happy...it's the simple things in life that make it worth living.
