only_more_loveMy smile:
I have a 9-day-old daughter, and I love and like her even more than I'd imagined I would. There were some unexpected complications, and her entrance into the world wasn't quite what I'd expected or planned, but that's life. :)
Hope your days are equally full.
I mostly post fannish things in this journal, but I think it's easy to forget that there is a real person behind the fic and the Bones commentary. Same goes for other people, of course. So I'd like to take a minute to acknowledge our humanity.
If you'd like to do so, please tell me something that made you smile this week, no matter how small. Could be the snuggle your dog gave you on Monday, the song you discovered on Tuesday, or the way your significant other smiled at you today. I've been posting these since last December. If you feel up to it, please respond—here, in your own journal, or elsewhere. Feel free to post more than one thing and/or respond to other comments.
Why am I doing this? Because I think it is far too easy to get caught up in the stresses, big and small, that we all experience. Being able to focus on one positive thing, however small, can give one a valuable sense of perspective.
Why Wednesday? I figure a little mid-week cheer can't hurt. :)

Date: 2009-03-12 05:06 pm (UTC)New windows and doors on my house in T minus 5 days and counting!! (pathetic what excites me these days)
Joe's nursery teacher especially told my child minder to tell me that he is such a dear, sweet little boy who always helps without being asked. Today one of his class mates was struggling with the velcro on her painting apron and he went and helped her all by himself. *beams with parental pride*
(That loving and liking them more than you ever thought possible just grows and grows :)

What made me smile this week? Hmm.. my kids. They make me laugh every day. They say or do something that entertains me (and pisses me off!). They are such fun ages, 16, 15 and 12-such grown ups but not.
Have fun with the baby... and all the best!
