This weekend I experienced pure unaltered joy. Nothing particular happened, it was just a great weekend. We spent most of it at dance competition again. As usual this time of the year.
My daughter is having some shoulder issues, but still gave her all to her team. Although there were a few tears of pain (from a few dancers with injuries). They all did amazing. It’s always a treat to watch them.
Sunday was a long twelve hour day and also mother’s Day. Our dance studio held an annual BBQ during the lunch break. It was amazing to visit and relax with other parents.
Today I’m very sore as well. With chronic illness you have to watch not to over do things. Unfortunately as a mom, we can’t always listen. I needed to be a cheerleader this weekend and yeah my voice is pretty horse today too.
I’m blessed with an amazing husband. The past five months he’s been working harder than ever. He had this Saturday and Sunday off and has been dealing with a a foot issue for a few weeks. Anyways he decided to stay home Sunday, get some rest and fix my car. I don’t think he got much rest though. He did all the laundry, changed the bedding, vacuumed and mopped as well as did the dishes and garbage. All so that I didn’t have to worry about it after a busy weekend.
Sometimes it’s nice to just sit back and realize all the joy we have in our lives. I’ve been truely feeling it and seeing it lately. This helps me to live my best life.
