Completely off the subject of my 31 Days challenge but you may have noticed a new look for the blog. I switched from Blogger to WordPress last night so may still be a little glitchy for another day or so. And when I say I, I actually mean the talented Marina from Penny Lane Designs. More on that later.
Today was a long day for me. I love the fact that my job affords me the opportunity to be home before 4:00 most days, but today I had to stay later for Open House. I grabbed an early dinner with friends that I teach with and then we went back to school for the PTO meeting and Open House. It only lasted an hour so I was actually home before Allen and BK ate dinner. Two dinners in one night? That’s certainly not Paleo friendly.
When I pulled into the garage I could see my two favorite people at the kitchen island and my heart swelled with love.
It was clear to me what I would write about tonight. I certainly take for granted the blessing that is having a husband who is a wonderful father to BK. They play together and we switch up the nighttime routine. He makes Dora shaped play-dough and builds pink bookshelves for her room. He is a great spiritual leader for our family and an amazing role model. I just know that she already looks up to him and I am incredibly grateful that she has such a wonderful role model.
It’s a simple blessing that I take for granted.
I don’t tell him enough how much joy he brings to my life. How it makes me fall in love with him all over again when I see him playing with our daughter. I assume he knows these things. After all, he does know me better than anyone else.
Today I found simple joy in something that I see every single day, the most precious father/daughter relationship I’ve ever seen.
It’s only day 2 and I love how this series is challenging me. I love how I am looking at normal life with a different lens. I find myself really thinking about my actions and who and what I surround myself with on a daily basis.
