Joyful hearts

Greetings y'all ;

Yesterday was one of them days , one of them really good for heart and soul days. You may recall my java fiasco it we made an adventure of it. That set the tone du jour. After we returned from our predawn expedition and work out I suggested we go ahead and clean my son's room. Who knew that would elicit a four hour nap from said progeny ?

Ok that left me a few choices : nap with him, wait for him to wake up and work on the room together or tackle the black hole of his bedroom. I chose a nice combination of A and C . I snuggled and napped with him for a few minutes , my heart filled with love and I decide to start on his room. Each item I touched I did with being fully present and with love for an eight year old that has taught me a lifetime of love and given me several lifetimes of joy! Uhm naturally my little angel woke from his nap just as I was finishing his room.

We sat , I fed him lunch and we watched our favorite Brit com together. We even played some on his putting green. Then eventually went to the pool for a quick one hour dip. I still wanted to finish cleaning. Well folks I am the captain of the ship and I decided to let the good ship Robinson Boys remain docked at the pool for the rest of the day. That meant four hours of playing and exercising and laughing and at one point we both sat out to rest . I trusted him with my phone so he could listen to music. He stayed out for a long time but it was when he started singing and dancing that I thought my heart would burst with joy at his joyfulness! I even dove in the pool and swam for awhile whilst he did music therapy. Eventually other folks showed up and we all played some games. I was proud of Zander for playing and accepting when loss , may sound trivial but that's a huge step for one of his quirky and exuberant predisposition.

So that's that in a nut shell. I continued to mindfully go about my day and accomplish what I needed to. I was extremely humbled and touched by a friend I've never met. We've chatted online but she reached out with an open and honest mind and hand. It was a seemingly random moment but I know there are no random moments - but angels with messages for us. I'm still exploring what the message may be. I know because of her I began to actually read the Qur'an and attempt to ingests it meaning. Funny how I've read, studied,lived etc Christianity, Judaism,Native American, Wiccan, Hinduism, Buddhism and now Islam but they all point to treating each other with love , respect, and kindness. To humbly acknowledge our role as striving to maintain peace and love our fellow man. For me it's about a personal relationship with God/Allah/ the great spirit etc ...

The last two days Zander has been deep. He asked if he would be an animal in the next life or heaven. He said he wants to be in heaven with me but can't be that good all the time down here on earth. He asked to show off without showing off. He acknowledge having bad dreams after being mean to others. Fortunately these sweet insightful comments were spread out over the last two days. It kept the whole courtship of eddies father vibe going a little longer. It lead to multiple tender and honest moments of discussing just doing the right thing right now, have the fortitude to acknowledge our sins and ask forgiveness, to be open to others experiences so we may learn.

No matter what we do the future is coming, the past is behind us, which leaves us the present to live in.

Thanks again for stopping by and checking in on us .
