You Are Worthy : You Are Enough : Brené Brown DVD Giveaway

I really liked the blog post - really hit home!
Thourghout the day there are certain moments that seem to calm me and I feel content. My grown son saying I love you as he goes to study, my cat perching on the arm of my chair, turning her head to look lovingly into my eyes, my husband's playful smile from across the room, ahh those hugs I feel and the saying from a movie - "my cup runneth over".
That being said I am haunted by the "if only's" - if only I would get this job - if only I lost weight - if only I was younger or prettier. Still I battle the worthiness aspect! I have hope!

My favorite every day moment is when we sit down as a family each night at dinner. We have a tradition where we go around the table, youngest to oldest, and report our "high" and "low" for the day. We have such great conversations sparked from this simple activity - and, like at our table last night - it can spark some sillyness and laughs too! Just real, home-grown, simple time spent well together as a family.

This sounds EXACTLY like what I need. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I love when I walk outside and hear the birds singing. My daughter at college sent me a text one morning that she opened her window just to enjoy the sound of the birds.

Ooops forgot to post an oridnary moment..... cuddling on the couch with my 10 year old as we read a book together.

When I am spending time with my friend and we don't need to say anything but look into each other's eyes to know what the other is thinking or feeling and then a moment later smiling, laughing, comforting, or crying. In a way, not so ordinary (as in routine or special) a moment, but to an observer, it would be not much more than two friends together.

My favorite ordinary moments are when we sit as a family at the dinner table and share our day, i recieve the gift of getting to know each member of my family. The other favorite ordinary moment i love, is when im reading in my room on my bed and my children will join me to read. :)

My favourite ordinary moment is any time all of us are at together. It's getting harder and harder as the kids become adults. I so miss the family dinners...

Little Man and I are hanging out and he asks me, "Mom, we're best friends, right?".
It doesn't get any better than that. :)

I loved her post and am excited to think about it more.

one of my ordinary moments is hanging out in the kitchen with my adult children and their friends, listening to the stories of their day. Then I wonder what my parents must have thought when it was me and my friends in their kitchen.

We finally broke down and bought the kids (yes, it's for the kids) a Wii. It has afforded us a LOT of fun family time this weekend. More than is probably healthy, actually. Lots of fun ordinary moments.

Saturday mornings- everyone still in their pajamas, hot coffee percolating (sp?), the kids playing, my husband working on breakfast and day full of possibility laid out before us.....

Watching 2o minute bits of TV shows on the couch with my husband!

Readying the house at night before I go to sleep. Turn off lights, turn down thermostat, close blinds, lock doors, etc...

This sounds very intruiging. I think some of my favorite orginary moments are snuggled up with the kids on the couch while watching tv. My 12 year old used to sit with me when she was really young & my 9 year old still does.

Definitely dinner around the table - with everyone home. Not wild about the cooking or the cleaning up afterwards, but love the 'moment' around the table.

Hiding behind the door or in the hallway with my husband when my 2-year-old is in his room singing and dancing his little heart out. My husband and I giggle like school children as we hear "tinkle tinkle...wittle STAR" (yelling) "ow i...wat woo ARE!" and he just shows us how to live a life where there are no boundaries. Such a regular moment for us but one that never fails to put things into perspective, where we hope to life our lives a little more like our children.

Picking my dinner ingredients from my backyard garden...

Walking through the house before going to bed, turning off all the lights, filling the water pitcher one last time to ensure cold water in the morning, and hitting the "start" button on the dishwasher.
