Welcoming a Simple Day

i'd say i was productive today, but it wasn't a stressful kind of productive. it was a nice and easy, progressive sort of productive. thank gosh, especially after the chaos that was yesterday, centered around my munchkin's first inter-squad swim meet (SO cute, but SO crazy).

5 hours of work in before 12:30.

a phone call to brighten my day.

a freaking BOMB brownie sundae.

a greatly needed and appreciated nap.

a clean room.

a written down and organized schedule for the next two weeks.

tom petty and the heartbreakers serenading me as i write.

plans to hang out with trevor tonight.

i feel peaceful. i'm ok with not really doing anything wild and crazy. to find joy and happiness in small things. even though i'm exhausted still from yesterday and literally feel like i could pass out cold at any moment, i'm still content.

speaking of content...somewhere on this world wide web today, i saw a question that was asked to someone: "Are you content?" their response? "With what?" i don't know why that caught my eye (a general trend, some things just do), but i thought about it a little. to me, content is a general expression of emotion - sure it can be applied to something direct like "are you content with the way this happened?" BUT i associate contentedness with life as a whole; if someone asked me that question, i would automatically think of it in such broad terms. by answering "with what?" however, i feel that you are insinuating that there are aspects of life you are not content with, so therefore you are not content as a whole. so maybe, because i am content with life, that is why i think of it in the grander scheme. is that weird? this may be one of those things that just makes more sense in my head...

oh well!
