Some of the good things in life...

I am sitting on my bed and it is about 10:45 pm. Today was a FULL day. I taught school until 3:30, then had to work the concession stand (if we spent 4 million dollars on a stadium update, why is there no air conditioning in the concession stand?) until 6:00. Then I had my weekly Wall meeting at 6:30 which lasted till about 7:45. When I got home, the Sisters and Elders had just driven up for a visit. After they left, I had to go to Wal-Mart for a few necessities and now I am here...
Anywho...I found a treat at Wal-Mart--vine ripe cherry tomatoes. They called to me as I passed by and I-not wanting to be rude-answered their call. I scooped up a bundle of the juicy, sweet morsels and tenderly placed them in my basket. Since I had not eaten since lunch time, I could hardly wait to get home, put the groceries away, get into my comfy jammies and INDULGE. I am proud to report that they were just as good as I anticipated they would be! What a sweet and dare I say it-nutritious way to end the day as far as food is concerned.
Another good thing...When I got home this evening (for the final time) I walked Lacey down the street to the Suntrust Bank "grassy knoll" that is there by the ATM (across the street from the Post Office) I discovered that I can let her off her leash and she can run a good distance without getting into danger. Also there are not alot of cars going to the bank after 10:00 at night. Soooooo...When I let her off her leash, she rolled over on her back and shimmied down the knoll on her back by wiggling her buttocks back and forth. When she reached the bottom-she ran back up to the top and DID IT AGAIN! Then she came and sat beside me. It was truly a pleasant, quiet moment that was shared between me and the someone (or something) that loves me unconditionally. There was a light breeze blowing, the stars were twinkling and we snuggled and just enjoyed it. It was a perfect ending to a good, but busy day....
I truly am richly blessed by having a job I love, doing something for the community that gives me great pleasure, having the Gospel in my life, being uplifted by the visit by the missionaries and having a beautiful "bonding" moment between me, my dog and Mother Nature...
