Warm Heart Wednesday Week 11

 Week 11!
 

It occurred to me the other day that sometimes I am stuck in the bad...not seeing or recognizing the good as often as I should.

 

I allow myself to be filled with weight and worry and woes.

 

Not always.

 

But sometimes too often.

 

I forget to remember the wonderful small, positive things that happen each week...a card in the mail, someone holding a store door or asking where I get my hair cut, a funny little story, or a ray of sunshine warming my face.
 

Warm Heart Wednesday is for me.   To start remembering.  And to make a journal of joy.

 

I hope you will consider joining me on this adventure by sharing something that made YOUR heart warm over the past week.  I think it will be fun and uplifting to read your ongoing journals as well.

Warm Heart Week 10

 I. WENT. SLED RIDING!

 

Pain pills are a wonderful thing!

 

Still smiling over my cold weather heart-warming experience.

Warm Hearted Week 9

It was one of those 'weepy' weeks.

 

You know the kind?

 

Where the second a Hallmark commercial comes on you close your eyes, put your fingers in your ears and sing "la, la, la".

 

Two of our Grandlittles were up over the weekend.

 

When it was time for them to go home I got teary.

 

Sniff.

 

Sniff.

 

The middle one shouted, 'Grandma!   Grandma!   Look at this!"

 

And I turned to see her smiling face...

 

 

(oops.   Sorry it's sideways!   You'll have to turn your head!)

 

 

...upside down.

 

It dried my tears.

 

Made me laugh.

 

And definitely warmed my heart.

Warmed Heart Week 8

We were fortunate that with all the snow we got up here in our mountain town that our kids were unable to get to their cabin...

So they crashed for the weekend with us.

The joy of having daughter, son-in-law and 2 1/2 year old Grandson again was wonderful.

And so I had many wonderful, heart-warming moments.

It was hard to pick one...

But...

Just as we always do, we went around the dinner table sharing both our favorite part of the day and our favorite word.

I wrote last week that our Grandson consistently uses the same word.

But apparently something amazing happened here at "Maw's" house that knocked Bunny off the favorite word of the day list.

When it got to Remy's turn he shouted out two words that none of us could understand.

We asked several times and finally we got it.

His favorite word of the day was "Dust Motes".

Ummm...

"Dust Motes".

??????

And then I recalled.

While we were laying in my bed reading, Remy tapped the covers and the room filled with dust motes.

Remy was delighted so we continued to pound the covers and laugh and laugh.

Sorry Bunny.

You have been replaced by my poor housekeeping skills.

My heart is still warm from his silly little word..

And the memory of this still warms my heart and makes me smile.

Warmed Heart Week 7

There were so many wonderful, heart-warming moments over Christmas that it was hard to pick only one to share.

Oddly, this is the one that kept coming to mind.

We have a little tradition of going around the dinner table and everyone sharing their favorite part of the day.

Since our youngest Grandson, now 2 1/2, has learned to talk we've added another tradition to the tradition...

...and that is that everyone shares their favorite word of the day.

Our Grandson consistently uses the same word.  

Every single time.

Without exception.

At Christmas, though, we all thought he would pick another word.

When it was his turn to say his favorite word he held one chubby finger up to his little lips and said, "Hmmmm..."

We all tried to help him along.

"Is it the tree?"

"No," he stated firmly.   "Hmmmm..."

"Is it the family?"

"No," he repeated.   "Hmmmm..."

After a few more questions and a lot more "Hmmmmm's" he finally told us his favorite word.

With a joy filled smile he finally informed us that his favorite word of the day was...

"Bunny!"

Even though it was Christmas, he remained true to his favorite word.

And the memory of this still warms my heart and makes me smile.
