that i actually had the energy to do something other than lay around.
the santa anas swept into san diego this weekend and gave us summer-like
weather which was a perfect way to welcome my body back to the land of the living.
sundays are officially 'Family Days.' c and i decided a few years ago that it was important
to designate one day out of the week to spend the majority of the day together. it doesn't
always happen, but we really try to make it a priority.
because christopher has had to be mr. dad and mr. mom so much over the past week,
he needed some time for him, so i encouraged him to sneak away to enjoy a little tennis early
in the day while i caught up on some housework.
the sunshine was calling us all in a BIG way, and by 10am, i had my beach bag and camera
in the back of the car, and the boys and i were lathered up in sunscreen heading to law street
(a popular family meeting spot in pacific beach) to enjoy a few hours of sunshine.
as always, we ran into several families from the neighborhood which was great.
christopher met up with us shortly after with lunch from rubios in hand!
i would have had two fish tacos to eat, but a pigeon flew off with one (wrapper and all)
as i left my food unattended for a few minutes. those darn pigeons.
a few years back, i actually had one take a burrito right out of my hand!
being sick has really made me stop and be thankful for good health.
and really, what is more precious than our health?
without it, it's harder to enjoy life in the way we can when we are healthy.
like alot of people, i took it for granted, but this past week has reminded me not to.
i left the beach feeling rejuvenated after getting much needed fresh air and some
quality time with the boys. we all left with smiles on our faces and slightly pink cheeks. *grin*
