A Good Day

Today was a good day. There was nothing special about it. I didn't go anywhere. There were no visitors. The Publisher's Clearing House didn't ring my doorbell and and announce, "Rhonda Roberts. You've just won one million dollars!!"
This morning I slept in until 8:00 and had a quiet breakfast with my husband. He did the cooking. I had a second and third cup of coffee which were sipped while watching the birds at the backyard feeders and reading the newspaper. Rick walked Maddie early so she wasn't nagging me for her walk. Since it's Saturday, there was no mad dash to get Trellany to school, plus she was with her dad this morning.
I piddled at my computer reading emails, tweets, blogs, and most important of all, watching Naomi videos on You tube.(Thanks Jim!) My industrious husband in the meantime gathered the ingredients to make a big pot of shrimp gumbo. I did my Wii Fit routine for 20 minutes. I can make that hula hoop go around pretty fast! :o
I then felt a little industrious myself and cleaned out the linen closet. I ended up with a bag full of trash, a bag for Goodwill and an empty shelf. I was a happy woman! I really like it when I can open a closet door and see exactly what I need.
My closest friend called. It was good to catch up on things with her. She is the sister of my heart. I had a cup of tea in my favorite tea cup. I walked Maddie mid afternoon. By this time Rick's gumbo was really smelling good! After supper Trellany and I did some Wii bowling (I had 5 strikes!), tennis, and baseball.
Well here it is evening. I plan on getting into my comfy PJs, climbing into bed and watching a movie. As you've read there is no big special thing that made my day great. Instead there were many small simple things that came together to bring calm blessings in a usually busy life.
