What A Nice Day

Bone tired still, but in a nice way. I got up early (5:30 a.m.) to prepare dinner for some special guests.

Went and walked with Karrie. Old friends really are gold.

My sweet husband and I got to go to the temple to do sealings with other ward members. An amazing spirit fills the room and leaves with you.

Got to go to Bath and Body Works. Can you ever have too much lotion or sweet smelling soaps? Especially when they have names like Nectarine Mint?

Our special guests came for dinner....the missionaries in our area. Loved hearing their experiences and testimonies. One of them reminded me particularly of Sean, dark haired, quiet, with a nice smile. It made me think of my own sons serving and gave me the opportunity to give back just a little to all of those wonderful sisters who fed my sons over the years. Kathy Priest...thanks again! Sent them home with all of the leftovers, except for enough baked beans for Clayton to have a taste.

Went grocery shopping with my good helper, Niel. Read over my Sunday school lesson. Yes, prophets again walk the earth. Watched part of an Alfred Hitchcock movie before falling asleep. It was his only comedy with Carol Lombard, so no bad dreams there.

Yes, still bone tired tired this early Sunday a.m.; but worth every minute of it.

Isn't it amazing how important the little things are in the overall big picture of a nice day? A walk with an old friend, a visit to a special place, a sweet smelling lotion, a reminder of someone caring for your loved ones, and a helper in the tasks of life. Each, by itself, a small thing, but added together, summed into a nice day, one of many added to the total in a life well lived.
