I remember when I was first dating Ryan during those blissful moments wishing we could stay in 'our bubble' of just us two without having to return to the world. We were long distance for the 4 years we dated, first 3 years of marriage by a plane flight and later by a nearly year long deployment overseas. To say we value time together is an understatement! And now he works insane hours in the hospital with a majority of his shifts nights and weekends. Truly it is a challenge.
Time is something you can't buy, something we are all wishing we had more of and something that always flies by in the blink of an eye.
The world can trap us into an idea that happiness is having, going and doing all the things.
Lies!
Time spent with the ones you love right where you are is a priceless gift. I encourage you to put it all down, preferably go outside and be in a bubble of happiness.
Our state is lifting its stay at home order at the end of this week and while we won't be jumping back into the hustle I find myself in a bittersweet state. It has been wonderful slowing down and despite loosing over half of our income (many tears shed and prayers said) it has been the greatest blessing in the world to have my whole family home. That is my bubble of happiness.
Don't let things of this world pop your bubble, protect it with His loving arms.
Tips: Put down your phone (with the exception of a must have photo op but share it later), hold hands, be outside for playing, reading, exercising and dining, talk, turn off electronics, and give thanks throughout the day for all you can do and all that you have!
Dress Beautifully in Your Bubble of Happiness
XOXO Sarah-Louise
