A Little Piece of Sunshine

Today I was walking out of the grocery store thinking "Today is a terrific day!" Then I stopped to ask myself what was making me appreciate the moment. Here a few things that came to mind:

- I was at the store by myself. Yes, I am finally to that stage of life when I occasionally have morning to run errands by myself but it is still a new experience that I cherish it.



- It was sunny. Living in constant overcast and sprinkles make you feel like you have been given a gift to walk to the car in sunshine.



- I had on my new tennis shoes. I have been confined to tennis shoes since I hurt my ankle in July. I finally decided I deserved a new pair. My ankle thanked me.



- I had just been at school and been told that because of testing parents weren't allowed to volunteer for the next two weeks. Yea, another two free mornings all to myself. Maybe I will clean the house with no one interrupting. ( I know I dream big!)



- I had just spend five days with my family at the coast.



- After President Monson's talk, do you just feel like you have the best life any way!

Gotta love running errands alone! I have awhile until I can do that, but it sure sounds divine!

Hi Karen and JR. I go to your blog every once in a while and thought I'd say hello. Your girls are getting so big. I hope all is well with you all.
