I don't know why I thought this would be so easy. To be honest it was just plain hard to find a positive today. I kept wondering and thinking... when would I find something awesome to write about. And then the blanks came. Had today really been so blah? I had let my worries and struggles of financial matters and other things get the best of me. At one point I even cried. And to be totally honest, I am crying now. How is it that the cares of this life seem so important when I know the things of this world have no matter. I can't take anything with me but my relationships and knowledge. So how then do I stop letting the cares of this life get me down? And how do I turn these things into a positive?
I had to run an errand after my loaned baby left and I made Leila come with me. The errand involved three different stops, Loan payment, Market and Post Office. She kept hounding me for a treat.. a treat mom..a treat. After the post office.. I let her pick a treat.. funions. I think thats what they are called? On the drive home, windows down, I smelt the first smells of summer. Fresh cut grass, fresh air and Leila's funions. On the way home we passed a Lilac bush. My childhood memories of our backyard came flooding in. Growing up I had a HUGE Lilac bush under my bedroom window. On summer nights those Lilacs would smell up my room, I can remember falling asleep with a smile. So today.. I decided...my positive is my smeller. I sure am thankful I have one!
