You Know Its A Bad Day When...

The only thing you did right all day was wrong.

How can something be right and wrong at the same time?

The day got off on the wrong foot from the beginning. Everything was taking twice as long as it should. I finally set the alarm, locked the door, and got in my car. Then felt my pocket... no keys. I looked in my purse... no car keys. Ok so I just need to get back in the house to get my car keys. Fine! Not that big of deal, right? Looked for the house keys... Nada! Great! No car keys. No house keys. Then I remember Cliff left through the front door and I didn't lock it behind him (the one and only time actually)!

Today did have good parts though. Thanks to my fellow bloggers. Matt from G&G says that Pastor Ray is improving. Then I went to Jeanie and read her fabulous "Write on Wednesday". She made me stop and appreciate the small things in life.

1) The feeling I get when I'm less than a mile from my house. The green grass, beautiful trees, and rolling hills I call "home"

2) The smell right before the sky lets loose of a hot summer rain

3) How the smell of horses always brings me back to my first horse, Pride. Thank goodness Lady finally got used to me burrowing my face in her mane

4) The sound of Saber's claws skidding across the hardwood floor as she chases after her toys

What are a few small everyday things you appreciate?

This is a wonderful post -- just sorry it had to come from a bad day. It's nice, though, to know that in one way or another, my post made you think about all the good things -- because I know there are many for you!
