A Good Day

Today has been a good day. Here's the beauty of it from start to now. Every moment was brimming with goodness! This list is more for my own memory's sake. Someday I will read back over this and reminisce of this good day.
* Wake up to doggy kisses on my hand.
* Contagious smiles from a sweet client.
* Enjoying Wii memory games with said client.
* Encouragement from a supervisor worth a million dollars.
* The relief of printing the last report, knowing I'll have a short break before they are returned for corrections.
* Giggling after the Weekly meeting because I couldn't understand our director's instructions. I finally got it right.
* A cheap lunch at a good place. I was thinking Arby's.
* The smell of sugar cookies in the oven.
* A little girl's face light up when I pulled out an enormous sugar cookie.
* Playing a simple game to win "cookie decor"
* Licking sticky fingers and showing off our goodies around the clinic.
* Reconciliation with a sister I haven't been able to talk to since Christmas.
* Finding out said sister is engaged to be married--to the father of my two precious neices!
* The VERY long delay getting off the exit ramp of the interstate on my way to church, allowing me time to read the material for the lesson--just one more time.
* Sweet faces full of excitement and eagerness to share the Word of God.
* Hugs from little arms.
* Hearing my name 1000 or more times by such strong voices for such little people.
* Watching miniature "statues" outsmart the game director.
* Knowing a prayer was being answered in me as I walked to the front to share the lesson with the kids.
* Little tears pocketing the corner of my eyes as a sweet, tiny girl wrapped her arms around me and whispered so sweetly, "Thank you for your speech."
* Being able to bless a visitor anonymously on his birthday with my little treasure box.
* Chatting with a couple of good friends in the cold wind, but not caring about the weather when in good company.
* Digging through forgotten treasures in a friend's living room while taking a break from schoolwork.
* Taking a deep breath as I hit the "submit" button--30 minutes before the assignment was due.
* Smiling inside and outside as I type up these memories.
