It's a new day...today is mine.

My sister Bianca's song "A New Day" has been in my head all day- the sun came out- birds were chirping...budding trees. It was like this song was meant for me today. You have to take a listen and even sing along with the lyrics...(see bottom of post for lyrics)

  

Today I felt a ray of sunshine because

Little Man and I:

-Had a camping adventure in my bedroom with a tent, popcorn and a movie.

-Listened to the rain.

-Pinned on Pinterest without feeling guilty that I should be doing something else.

-Hopped into our rain boots and got to work in the garden.

-Had a date with Target... and got all new and colorful gardening essentials.

-Explored in the grassy field with mister and Guapo (our dog)

-Caught ladybugs. Lots of them.

-Bought myself tulips.

-Drank horchata two days in a row.

-Planted the tulips and other flowers I received as gifts to honor this experience.

-Helped Little Man plant his starter seeds for his very own garden

-Snuggled with the mister.

-Snuggled with Little Man.

-Ate a lot more oreos.

I was driving on my way to pick up Mister from the airport and I caught a glimpse of Little Man singing to himself in my rearview mirror. I smiled as I thought- “I am so incredibly lucky to have him in my life.” I then later again watched him practice his jumping skills (which he is so proud of) off the curb into puddles… and I smiled again. I watched him “help” me with planting the flowers by picking other flowers in the yard and bringing them to me.

I am so incredibly lucky. And happy to have him in my life. One thought that occurred to me today was on the bright side of all of this- I am sure happy to not be nauseous on a day like today…I got to really enjoy the day and my family.

It's a NEW day and

today is MINE.

{I have a little helper}

{Target shopping spree- I should buy stock in this store- I love it}

{In honor of the last three months- flowers were given as gifts from others and myself - representing growth and renewal}

{Thanks for all the love. I have so much gratitude!}

Besitos, xo

Lyrics to 

A New Day

I can see a ray of light

Beaming through my blinds

Shining in a new day

Shining in a new day

I can hear the little birds

Chirping loud for all the world

Singing it’s a new day

Singing it’s a new day

Chorusish:

No matter how long the night feels,

The promise of a new day is sure to come-

I can see the bright blue sky

Feel the breeze blowin’ by

Whisperin’ it’s a new day

Whisperin’ it’s a new day

I can see the budding trees

Turning bright green for me

Showing it’s a new day

Showing it’s a new day

Chorusish:

No matter how long the night feels,

The promise of a new day is sure to come-

telling me that today is mine, today is mine...it’s a new day and today is,

today is mine...

Bridge:

I can choose to put grey colored glasses on-

To keep the sun from shining down or

I can choose to put rose colored glasses on-

To help me see the flowers, they’re comin’ up

And they’re telling me… that today is mine, today is mine, and it’s a new day,

today is, today is mine.

I can see a ray of light

Beaming through my blinds

Shining in

Shining in

I can hear the little birds

Chirping loud for all the world

Singing, yeah

Singing, hey hey hey

Oh oh, it’s new day, and it’s new day, today is mine
