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.
today is MINE.

Lyrics to
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
