Days Like Today

It's days like today that I want to eat up. I want to savor every moment and bask in the fleeting sunshine. I went for a walk this afternoon during my lunchour instead of my normal trip home. It was heavenly and I found myself questioning why I don't do this daily instead of rushing off to do dishes, pay bills, clean the litter box....why don't I stroll across the bridge, pretend I'm a tourist for an hour, gaze out at the lake, sit in the sunshine and breathe in the fresh clean northland air instead? Well, mostly because the weather is only decent one out of 100 days...but today was delicious.

I watched the sunlight tickle the ripples on the harbor, the seagulls circle overhead, the tourists asking for directions and deciding which boat cruise or tour to go on and it's Friday on top of it. What a lovely lunch hour.

On a side note - I'm off to the "R--- Family Golf Classic" this weekend- should be fun...it usually is. A scramble of all of the good, bad and ugly golfers in my family followed by an awards banquet and much beer consumption...I wish I knew how to load pics on my site! ah well...I'm off!!

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
