夏前の幸せの一コマ　A happy day

昨日の夕方は雨も止んで、風が気持ち良かった～❣✨

昼は通り雨が降って、その後パーっと晴れたので、虹が出てるかな～と気になりつつ、家の人と昼食。
楽しく食べました(^^♪

夕方になって、やっと少し外に出られたのが、とても嬉しかったです(^^♪
とにかく、風の心地良さに幸せいっぱいでした❤

夕食後、「お母さん来て！」と息子に呼ばれて外に出ると、煌々とオレンジに輝く大きな満月！

その時の月を写真に納めたい気持ちが出たものの、携帯を取りに家の中に入るより、息子と外での時間を味わうことを選び、しばらく一緒に。

なので、月の写真は寝る前に2枚ほど撮りました。
綺麗な月でした～🌕✨

さ、寝ようかな、と眠さにうつらうつらしているところ、
昼寝して元気満々の次女が「お母さん、もう寝る？少し話しよ♪」と布団の横に。

大学での出来事を思い出しては、話しながら笑いだす。
隣りに寝ている弟を気にして、小さめの声で、笑いもこらえながら。
そのせいか、余計におかしい。
眠かったけれど、次女とそんなひと時を持てたり、
気持ち良い風にうっとりできたりして、昨日は最高の一日でした。

そして、このように感じられる自分を嬉しく思います。

ありがとうございます(^^♪

Yesterday, I walked around my neighbor, just before the sunset.
The air was so nice❣
I enjoyed the breeze as if it ran through me.
Oh, it was just so lovely...

Prior to the sunset, just around the noon, it rained hard and stopped suddenly. I wanted to go out and check out if there was a rainbow.
Since it was our lunch time, I served and ate our lunch.
So, being able to go outside in the early evening felt more enjoyable
（even though there was no rainbow).

After dinner, my son who was going to run a little called me to come outside, showing the big full moon shining orange brightly.
I was very glad that I could gaze the moon with him.

Later at night, I was somehow very sleepy and ready for bed.
Then, the second daughter came to me saying she wanted to have a chat with me, side by side. She couldn't hold a laugh remembering what happened at college. From her talk, I could see her enjoying the college life. 

I appreciate that now I have such lovely children and I could enjoy myself with them.
In the past, I couldn't see this happiness.

What changed me?

I suppose that the game changer was self love.
I started to love and nurture myself.
I honored my own feelings more than before.
I also started to see consciously good side of a coin. 

We can grow love, happiness and gratitude, and it starts from loving oneself, I think.

Thank you for reading.
