It wasn't so long ago that I had, perhaps, unusually high expectations when making plans for long weekends and vacations. I would spend lots of time planning, shopping, and generally prepping for these times. Vacations weren't a complete success unless
I could be where
I wanted to go and could wear what
I wanted to wear and be with whom
I wanted to be with.
This past week, I've spent a lot of time hanging with the girls doing things that, in the past, I wouldn't have found especially interesting, and certainly not relaxing... and I've had the absolute best time. It's amazing how the simplest things seems to be the best.
Nowadays, having a good time means watching the girls have a good time, regardless of my own comfort. Of course, having a stack of my favorite magazines makes it even better. I can at least enjoy fantasizing about the vacation of
my dreams. I must be growing up...
Sometimes simple is so much better... not to mention less stressful than trying to make everything perfect!!

I love it! I am so in agreement! Sometimes it is the (not so anticipated, not so quiet)small things that matter most! I wish I could always remember that!! Stopping by from Voiceboks - new follower too. Hope to see you soon!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what's sweeter - your baby in fur or the revelation. Precious! My mom said 22 years ago: You have kids, help them grow up, what really happens? They help us do so. So true :)
ReplyDeleteI think the times spent with our little bundle of joys are the best. Visiting from voiceBoks.
ReplyDeleteI can very well relate. These days, I am content and happy just seeing my little one play and discover new things on her own.
ReplyDeleteNice catching up with you via vB.
