I'm not very current these days - I don't know what meme stands for, or if it stands for anything. Browsing too late at night I came across this on Posie gets Cosy, thought I'd give it a shot as I find these types of exercises insightful and revealing. A One-Word-Answer meme, sounds perfect for us time/energy-challenged folk (okay I added an extra word here or there - I can't think TOO hard).

Because she's so kind
a lovely parcel arrived with this morning's mail bringing a smile to my face. Pina sent me the most gorgeous parcel with some handmade goodness for me and my lovely girls, as well as some Slovenian goodness!
Pina is very interested and passionate about the history and beliefs of the native American Indians and she made me a beautiful dreamcatcher. She sweetly said she felt sure I had sweet dreams already, but here was something to aid in ensuring that they kept coming. It's gorgeous, so fragile, but sturdy - if the contradiction makes sense to you. It's now hanging on the picture wall which faces Geoff and I as we lie in bed. The wall is covered with pictures of the two of us and the girls (who hold most of our lives dreams) so an apt place for it to live. The girls also received a beautiful bath mit each with a lovely bird (which won't go swimming in the bath) attached (that's not even mentioning the chocolate and a little cook book).

If you haven't had a look at Pina's blog, you should. Not only is she a very generous, compassionate and kind person - she's very interested and interesting, takes great photos and should be employed as a full time staff member for the Slovenian tourism board! Thank you - so much xx

Sunny Days
10 years of marriage marked with 4 days away spending time as we did when the 10 years began, just he and I.
We hiked to secluded beaches where we were the only ones on the beach; we had drinks poolside by candlelight; we swam in one gorgeous pool and at four perfect beaches; we snorkelled with parrot fish and sea turtles; we went sea kayaking and drank champagne as the sun set; I was massaged and scrubbed; we ate well and drank in moderation; we swam by lamplight after dinner; we read books; we had the time to talk and the quiet to listen. Of all the sweet things he said to me, the one that made me smile the most was "you're still the best decision I've ever made".

Time for change
I'm not generally into politics. I care what happens in my world and those of others, but I don't follow it as closely as some of our friends, my knowledge is certainly lacking in matters of policy. I was very enthusiastic about the final ousting of our own little Johnny and felt extremely dissapointed in my countrymen when he was re-elected in the previous election. I found myself thinking Someone I know must have voted for him????
This year I have been one of many outside the US who has followed the elections and been excited by the prospect for change - a change so badly, badly needed for so many reasons. Today, we're excited - I even danced a little jig along with the CNN coverage, well done and fingers crossed for brighter days ahead.

Flutter, flutter
Life has been very busy of late with dad not around much due to crazy work timelines. Today has been a quiet family day for that reason and also we'll be leaving the girls with my parents tomorrow and heading off for our 4 night without children break. This time 10 years ago I was writing placecards, making little bags of treats for placesettings, and counting down the 48 hours until my wedding day.
Due to the quiet nature of our day we did a sweep at home. You always want the children to win and as I won 1st and 2nd and Leila 3rd, we told a little white lie and let Ella have 2nd place. I know they have to deal with losing but not yet and not when it's just us - some lessons can wait. Did you back the winner?
