Today's gift

Did you ever have one of those days, where one bad thing happening seems to blot out all of the good?

I'm not going to share about the problem, er, challenge of today.  Here's everything else I somehow overlooked from within my anger.

This amazing little box arrived in the mail, from a long time far away friend, out of the blue.  How sweet to know I am still in her heart.  She is forever in mine.

Molasses, cinnamon and apples.....folded into sourdough pancakes for breakfast.  Yum.

Planting sweet pea seeds with Bella and Katy.  I can almost smell the blossoms.  I love gardening w/ my girls.  Katy said "Mom, you look pretty," when she took this.  Wow.

Strawberry rhubarb pie anyone? Only a few more months.

It really was a good day.  My husband came home, said "What smells so good?" (and he meant me, as well as dinner) and gave me so much love.  Perhaps tomorrow I will do better at returning it.
