IT'S NOT EVERYDAY
It's not everyday that you are getting ready to go to the store and you notice two neighbors outside working. One is helping the other wire a flatbed trailer. The irony is that one is a young, big black guy and another is an elderly white man in his eighties.
So before our trip to Kohl's we go meet the two neighbors, neither of which we had previously met. It turns out they are both very nice (just as I had figured). Wilbur says he is caring for his ailing wife. And in the course of conversation, Darius says he is a retired professional ball player. I ask what kind of ball. He tells me Football for the Denver Broncos. His last season was in '04. I ask him what brought him here to the neighborhood, he said he likes the country life and that this is what he likes as he grew up in New Mexico. Wilbur said he and his wife came here to escape the busy traffic in his old neighborhood. They had expanded the Boulder Turnpike and it was nearly in his yard, he said.
It's not everday you take your 4 and 2 year old to the store (Kohls and Michaels) and they are both good for you.
It's not everyday your husband calls and says he will come home early if I want to go to the temple.
It's not everyday you win a free book that you actually wanted.
It's not everyday Grandma sends this beautiful dress she made for her beautiful granddaughter just because she asked her for a new dress.
It's not everyday your Visiting Teacher surprises you with this.
It's not everyday you are given a free bed. The timing is especially important because you are having out of town guests in a few weeks and really needed someplace for them to sleep.
I love days like today, I feel so blessed!!

I have the original Fat Smash diet book. I did lose 11 pounds on it, but did gain back 5 (can't believe I am admitting that). It like the book, especially for those time when you want to lose some fast. I will be using it again when we go to Mexico.:)
Have a great weekend!
Wow, what a great day you have had. And a free bed, that is awsome.. did you end up going to the Temple??
