Warm Oatmeal

I sat on my sofa this morning and listened to the wind, rain, and distant thunder while enjoying a bowl of warm oatmeal. The house was quiet (boys still sleeping) and I was reminded of how the simple things in life make me happy. I don't ask for much - just a little peace and quiet every now and then and to be able to enjoy a bowl of warm oatmeal ALONE from time to time. Moments like this help carry me through the day. A little pouring into myself helps me continue to pour into others because as soon as the little people wake up, they will attempt to exhaust me of every ounce of energy I have (smile). Life is good and it's even better when you can take the time to enjoy a bowl of warm oatmeal or whatever your pleasure is. Be good to yourself today.
