Today has been 

wonderful. 

There are so many bitter moments, ugly relationships, 

devastating circumstances, and ruthless words. 

So what about the good? 

What about hope? 

Life isn't always the way we plan. 

It's not always the way we want it to be. 

People can surprise you, for better or for worse. But what happens when we all try and be kind? 

Nothing spectacular happened today.

 I woke up at 5:45 am, got ready, took the hectic drive to TD, worked out my shift, and drove home. 

On my way home,

the sun was warm and I was calm. I started to think about how sweet this life can be. We have days where we can't wait for them to end. Our husbands, kids, parents, jobs, can all make us crazy. 

But then something happens.

 You drive home to that soft song on the radio and that warm sun on your face. You get home and eat two wagon wheels, and don't even care that you forgot to put them on a plate, so when you melted them a little, they went all over the microwave. 

You see a love note from your husband 

and a picture of the two of you on the kitchen table. 

You call your sister and hear her kids in the background, 

you always feel a 

little piece of home when you call there. 

You put Ellen on and think, 

"what a wonderful world".

That's the kind of day it has been. 

In the words of, 

the ever so wonderful Ellen, 

"Be kind to one another".  

Happy Thursday everyone - know that you are loved :)
