Good afternoon internet friends? I just realized that it was time to feed the kids lunch yet I had neglected to give you an update. Did anyone miss me?
Yesterday was a decently good day. Took Jasmine to run the non-food portion of our errands and checked out the new Dollar Store. Also got my lip gloss that I'd won on an online giveaway and got a shipping notice for my Franklin Goose order! Yippee!
Not much on the books for today - just more stroller reviews and about three loads of laundry. I'm hoping my darling husband comes home soon - if I can get the laundry done early enough I may also be able to go take a walk and enjoy this lovely weather!
This morning I won a greeting card for becoming the 600th fan on a Facebook page. Didn't even realize there was a contest. One of my other Facebook friends had posted that the page was trying to get to 600 fans, noticed that there were currently 599, and so "liked" it as well just to be that even 600 person, LOL. I did go back and look over the page some, and read some of the notes.
This woman is a photographer, which in and of itself isn't anything exciting and unusual. She also happens to be a one-legged photographer who uses a wheelchair. And what really struck me was the good humor with which she approached her situation. She was nearly killed by a drunk driver, had to endure numerous surgeries and extended hospital stays, ultimately lost her leg - so she has plenty of excuses to be bitter. Yet she manages to maintain her faith and her good humor.
Certainly a lesson to be learned, especially after just cursing under my breath because I knocked a bottle of hot sauce off the shelf where it promptly broke across my kitchen floor. All too often we stress the little things.
So that, my good anonymous internet people, is going to be my goal for the day - find something to be thankful for and try to get through the rest of day with somewhat good grace. Hope that you have a lovely day yourselves.
