**feeling good after being sick for ten days. (Thanks, everyone, for all your encouragement!)
**tasting fresh challah spread with real butter. (I miss SAGA!)
**smelling rain on the wind blowing through the living room windows.
**listening to a tinny web feed of country music.
**hearing rolling thunder passing overhead, rumbling and booming.
**gazing at the enormous slate-grey clouds I know will rain somewhere if not here now.
**watching Star Trek Voyager episodes on a lazy afternoon.
**reconnecting with old friends I thought were long gone.
It's a plain Wednesday. Nothing exciting has happened. But it's been a good day so far. Why? The answer is contentment. It's not about what happens or what doesn't happen, what I have or what I'm missing. It's about how I see it, how I smell it, taste it, feel it, hear it. And just for an instant, it is perfect.
Contentment! Wow, I just posted a survey on that on my blog. Did you see it?
ReplyDeleteThank you stopping by. I was not trying to imply that Christians are superior to Muslims, I was working on the terrorist being the same as me.I 've added an update to make things more clear. Please forgive me if I seemed arrogant.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I must admit that the reason I enjoy your blog so much is that you have given me a window into a world that not only can I ever see nor can many others.
I appreciate you and your humble day to day post, and it makes me a better home school mom. Because I can share a window of the world with an actual person, not a journalist who can leave at any time, nor a history book that may not think preparing chicken is historical. You have humbled me and made me work on working with what I have instead of going and getting more(American need for new)
I stop by often and hope you don't mind. Thanks for all

By the way my home school blog is more about the family: mcbenningschool.blogspot.com
