*Shrimp and Grits for lunch – an outstanding lunch provided by our PTA for teacher appreciation week – MUCH appreciated:)
a sweet email from my husband
a chocolate smelling teddy bear – have you ever??
a good teaching/learning day with my students – fulfilling
watching amazingly talented kids practice for the talent show – truly inspiring and entertaining
being able to give a friend a ride home
being able to pray for and support another friend
watching a girl chase an energetic, feisty Jack Russell Terrier up and down the street (trying to catch him as he had escaped the yard) until both were tired – belly laugh funny
Cracker Barrel’s seasoned turnip greens – fabulous!
Looking forward to two more delights – candy cane coffee and a bubble bath…
Then it’s goodnight world. Thank You, God, for many happy moments today!
Dana,
Thank you for the smile. I just love the photo of the dog in the bath! A question: What are grits and candy cane coffee? It’s always good to count blessings. I am trying to remember to do this too. I hope you enjoyed your bubble bath!
Grits are a big southern breakfast dish! It is a hot cereal made of ground corn – delicious simply with a lump of butter or fancied up with cheese, garlic or shrimp. The candy cane coffee is just a peppermint flavored coffee left over from Christmas – also Yum!
Thank you for this post. It really made me smile. The first two things in the list are definitely the most important. For me, happiness can simply be defined with God and my family, others are just bonus.
I would agree! Thanks for your comment!
