It's days like this I feel so blessed. I had a wonderful weekend spent with people I absolutely love. This morning, I woke up in a cozy bed, wrapped in the warm arms of someone who adores me. It is a crisp, cold day and despite being able to see your own breath, the sun is shining. I noticed how beautiful the leaves on the trees seem to be today as I drove to work, picking up a pumpkin spice latte on the way. I arrived at work, opened the shop, kicked on the heater and the music, and here I sit - comfy warm, enjoying the latte and a slice of warm, home-made banana bread reflecting on my life and so grateful for what I have, who I have, and where I am. It is a good, make that a GREAT day. Thank you, Lord!
