Sunny Disposition

It would have been difficult not to feel good these past few days. I truly believe the warmth and sunshine influence me in profound ways. Together, they change the type of person I am. They make me the type of person I like to be. Poor Angus has been battling a cold and the night's have been fairly restless, with both of us camping out on the lounge, for everyone's comfort really. He sleeps so much better propped up with a myriad of cushions and pillows. I recall the very feeling this gave me as a child. Reassurance and coziness. I also get to watch him that little bit longer when he's on the lounge, before I lapse into slumber myself. I kind of like that.

Despite his cold, he has been super keen to soldier on during the days. We've taken leisurely walks, enjoyed plenty of park play and one of our favourite weekly rituals of visiting Nana and Pop. Sitting on the lawn, in the afternoon sun, observing my Mama and the boys busying themselves with weeding the garden and watering the plants. Seeing the boys racing back and forth on the little fire engine and exploring all the wonders of nature. I love all of it. It's simple, but it's this that makes me beam.

A mid week dinner with two gorgeous girls I'm lucky enough to call dear friends, was a nice way to spend an evening also. These girls have been in my life since we were 12 and although we don't catch up as often as we should, it's always the same sense of certainty when we do. Life itself changes constantly, but nothing between us ever does. I would love to be sitting around with these treasures, eating gourmet pizza and chatting the night away, when we're 80. A sunny disposition for this Mama of 2 boys, indeed.
