My old coat is too big and too old, so I just don't wear it anymore. I wear my raincoat/trenchcoat when I go out and about, but just my trusty huge blue sweatshirt for taking Rosie for walks. When it is cold, I just put a sweater on first. Well, this morning there was no sweater on the hooks by the door, and Paul was still sleeping in our room where my sweaters would be, so I just wore the sweatshirt. Rosie decided she did not want to be quick with her business, so we dawdled around while she sniffed everything, and I shivered. When I turned on my computer and saw the temperature, it made sense why I was so cold.
I had a thought this morning as I mixed the orange juice. Just one of those "seize the moment" kind of thoughts, the "this is NOW" kind of thing. I was gazing out the kitchen window without really seeing anything, thinking about random things...then I really looked, and it was beautiful out there. The sun was just starting to shine, still pinkish, on the frost covered grasses, all brown and crumpled from the previous snow. I thought, "if I were to die right now, I would die happy." Then I gave the four little ones some nice smoochy-kisses when I gave them their juice.
I am not going to complain that I am tired because I was awakened fifteen minutes before I usually wake up because I got a text saying that Katie had her baby!!! Davian Axton was born just before 6 a.m., and weighed 8 pounds. (Katie is my sister's oldest daughter)...and guess what???? My sister just called and asked me if I wanted to go see them!!! Of course I do! Camille and I are going to see a newborn. And Katie, of course.
