I had such a great weekend. The top three reasons why: I wasn’t working, I was hanging with my youngest daughter, Marissa, and I saw the big orange ball in the sky.
Yesterday was the absolute best. I slept in a bit, went to cycling class and then went garage selling with Mariss. We were on mission: (Scott’s favorite saying) to find a nice, new queen size mattress. I have been praying forever for a good deal. Call me old fashioned, even a bit corny, but I pray for all needs in our life. We came upon an estate sale where we found a new mattress with the tags still on it. Only 25 dollars…hurray!
Probably the best part of the day came from the simplest thing. Mariss and I spread out a blanket on top of our lounge chair cushions out on the deck. We laid ourselves down and proceeded to absorb the warmth from the sun. It felt so good. I listened to the birds chirping and the children’s laughter next door. The aroma of fresh pine, smoke from a nearby fire and fresh cut grass all mingled together and filled me up. In this peaceful state I drifted to sleep. It was the best nap ever.
I have wrapped this memory up in my head, to open at just the right (hectic) moment, to remind myself of how good life truly is.
I’m glad you saw and enjoyed the orange ball in the sky. We are at a simmering 95 degrees here in Arizona right now. I’m still savoring the wonderful memory of the puffy white clouds I saw for the first time in 2 months the other evening in the sky here. The moon was shining through. Wonderful!
It really is the simple things in life that thrill us, isn’t it.
These past few days have been wonderful! I’m wrapping up that memory too on this cool and cloudy day and happy in the knowledge that the warm weather is well and truly on its way:)
Have a good Easter, Michelle – I hope that you’re not too busy over the weekend xx
Very good text. I’ve found your blog via Yahoo and I’m really glad about the information you provide in your articles. Btw your sites layout is really messed up on the Kmelon browser. Would be cool if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!
