Rock 'em Sock 'em

Dear Blogging World,
Today was one of those amazing days you would contently live over and over. You know when your morning starts really well... Like those scenes in a movie where you life moves in sync with everything? It was like that, I woke up, and wasn't too hot and wasn't too cold. I rolled over and held onto the covers for a little bit longer and thought to myself, if I don't force myself up, I will drift back to sleep and never crawl out of here. So I did, gently dragged my little body out of bed. I then proceeded though the morning routine- with minor adjustments, because you see, today was a special day.

Before meeting with my sister in Lindon, I stopped at McDonalds and enjoyed their hot-cakes. Yes, I know it sounds gross to love a McD's breakfast, but I love it. I gobbled down most of my pancakes and two greasy hashed browns. I smiled as I realized that the expression on my face must resemble a small child on Christmas morning- but secretly wishing I could still eat like one without the concern of inches on my hips.

I got to help someone today. We always learn to look for opportunities to give... and trust me, I have been looking for this one. I have searched every loophole, every burrow, each gopher hole, and every nook and cranny you can imagine. And I found it. It is silly that being there for others makes things better for me... but it does.

Then, I slowly peeled myself away from my blissful morning to go to work. Which I have to say, today I loved my job. I sat there and thought about those people sitting around me, and things wouldn't be as fun if they weren't there. We talk all day, joke about everything, and by the end of the day, we are laughing about everything.

After work, was just as wonderful. The man helping me at the store was super nice, and just uber helpful! I was so grateful for his help. I played a little window shopping at the mall and thought about what to wear on Wednesday. I giggle again. I laugh like myself. Life is good and things are beginning to fill with color like they used to be. I sometimes can't get my body or brain to act my correct age at times... I can't keep coordinated and keep from spilling my drink all over the car. I can't help that when I drive, I listen to my music and sing along really loud!

Today was one of those days, I could live again. I would smile and laugh just the same. I would eat and dance and walk just the same. The only thing that could change, is the frosty incident... But maybe not... It was good. Good enough that I smile at the thought. And know that God gives us days like these to make it all worth while.
