Scratching an itch...
I spent a very restful Mother's Day... feeling inspired to do something new.
We watched the Amazing Race final leg today, and when Luke and Margie came in 3rd, I was both disappointed and inspired to pick up my sign language again.
When I was a teen, I'd learned sign language from missionaries in our church, who taught us to sign for a deaf family in the ward.
I LOVED it... and used it often, even after moving away.
Years have gone by, however, and with no real use for it, it's sort of gone by the wayside.
And now, I feel like taking a refresher course.... and my daughters thought it might be fun to learn it with me.
And then we watched the movie "Chocolat"--my sweet 10 year old made a coupon book for Mother's Day, and in it were tickets for watching a movie. So we did!
And besides making me want to make hot chocolate, truffles, and any kind of chocolate I could get my hands on,
It made me realize how little I've laughed in the past few weeks.
And I'd like to look back a year from now and say that I made an effort to laugh more.
Happy Mother's Day!
