How lucky are we if, at the end of the day…when our head hits the pillow we can say…as we smile before our eyes close…today was a very good day.
Let’s take today for instance…when I awoke…when I opened my eyes…I looked outside and was greeted with the most spectacular sunrise.
I read an article about kindness…about a man who stopped in the pouring rain…to help a child…both soaking wet…by reattaching his bicycle chain.
We had lunch with our son Bryan…hadn’t seen him in a while…
It was wonderful to talk to him…and great to see him smile.
At the grocery store…in the aisle ahead of us we instantly became aware…of a young man reaching to retrieve an item for a lady down low in her wheel chair.
In the middle of the day…it could’t have been better staged
our youngest son called to tell us…he and his girlfriend are engaged.
While the rest of the country is boiling hot…at our cabin in the trees…a gentle breeze was blowing…it was 72 degrees.
We talked to Ali, our daughter…it seemed the stars had all aligned
we got news about her children…our grandchildren….everyone is doing fine.
We had a friend over for dinner…she brought mojito’s…which we endorse…Deborah made a cobbler for dessert…peach cobbler with ice cream…of course.
In the middle of the evening as if it was preordained…the weather changed and the three of us sat listening to the rain.
Looking back how lucky was I to have these moments…and how wonderful to say…before I close my eyes this evening…today was a very good day.
