Today was actually a nice day….if I had been able to enjoy more of it outdoors. I left this morning at 0620 to take the boys to their “new school” and had been indoors until 2:30pm, when I had to leave to come home and brush and floss my teeth before going to the dentist. YUCK!!!!! I totally dislike going to the dentist. I have a tooth that has a cavity that they have been watching for almost 2 years now. Just knowing that it could possibly be the trip when it needs filling totally gets me worked up. Then I get there and JD asks me politely, “have you taken your medication?” and I am thinking “yes, I know I need drugs, but I didn’t think it was that obvious” and I say “medication?”. Silly me FORGOT that I have to take antibiotics before getting my teeth cleaned (or having any dental procedure for that matter). Luckily, she said that people forgot all the time and they actually had the meds there. The worst part is….I had to take it and then sit in the chair “to let the medication work” for what seemed like an eternity. Anyway, long story short….we get to watch the cavity for another 6 months, unless I feel increased sensitivity to hot/cold in that part of my mouth. Totally made my afternoon.
We had supper tonight at church. I love carrots and the carrot casserole rocked! I came away with the recipe and hub is so thrilled…NOT. My family doesn’t really like carrots, so I don’t get to eat them as much as I would like. Week 5 of Beth Moore’s The Patriarchs was great. I am learning so much from the study.
Then, when we got home, it was cool enough that I could run. Unfortunately, I didn’t run across Arkansas like Forrest Gump, but I did run a little over a mile, which is pretty good considering I haven’t ran outside for well over a month. And I made such good time that hub couldn’t believe I had already gotten home.
All in all, it has been a good day. Every day is a good day with God!
And finally, today has been a day of remembrance. Today would have been my MIL’s birthday. Such a sweet lady who loved God, just not enough time in my life.
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.
‘Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.’
I like carrots steamed so much I was like…why would you add calories to something that already tastes so good?
But, it was different.
I walked 30 minutes on the trail today, in sandles, and my “going out to lunch” clothes. I’m just tired of my excuses to enjoy when the weather is nice, so I went. My feet did hurt by the end, but I was proud of my meeting a goal!
Great job!
Wow, girl. I am impressed that after the whole day, church tonight, you went out for a run. Impressive!
