Better Life

This past week has been a wild one. It was full of good weather, lots of work, and family time since it was Easter this past weekend. I haven't forgotten how I said that I would try to find at least two living moments in everyday life. Here they are:

Life was going to work 8 hours a day, starting at 12:15pm and coming home at 9:00pm. Living was when  a lady who adopted the sweetest little grey and white cat stopped by for a visit--with Tracycakes in hand for all of the staff. She had come back with a lovely thank you card for all of us and a little treat to spoil us with. She was so pleased with how we took care of her kitty before she found her forever home.

Life was having to run errands, and bring charitable items to Value Village this past week. Living was when I got to hug the one of the sweetest young ladies I have ever known, who now works there. I got to catch up with an old friend in an unexpected place. (Plus, I walked away with $8 name brand jeans, and an armful of books! YAY!)

Life was when our dryer decided that it would disconnect itself from its duct work. When you're a relatively new homeowner, you don't always have the supplies at hand to fix such things (like duct tape...it was nowhere to be found in our house!) Living was walking down the block to Canadian Tire on a gorgeous day to pick up the tape.

Life was when I was driving out (again) to the stable to go and clean up after my horse. Living was when a police officer stopped traffic on Highway 11 to let the most beautiful trumpeter swan cross the highway. Everyone stopped and watched this magnificent creature cross the road.

Life was doing horse chores. Living was when my husband stopped by just in time to help me empty the wheelbarrow, and to show me the awesome diamond harrow that he got me for keeping my arena's footing nice, and soft.


So there's a few things that I observed (and actually remembered!) in my ventures. This week is another crazy week, full of adventure and learning.
