The Simple Things

I wish I could write and tell you about my exciting event packed day, but I can't. To be honest today was just like any other weekday. Get the kids off to school, run some errands, clean up the house, do some paperwork...the usual....except with one huge difference...the sun! The sun decided it wanted to shine today. You do not know how much you take the sun for granted until you go long periods without seeing it. I decided to take advantage of it, and although it is still cold, I walked to pick up Caleigh from school. On the way, the sun was beaming down on my face and warming my skin. The air was fresh. Not a cloud in the sky. As I got about a block away I heard the children playing outside. Pure. Joy. Fresh laundry was hanging from most homes. The church bells ringing. Caleigh and I walked home slowly, hand in hand, just taking it all in. It's these simple things that make my life extraordinary.
