There are some days that you can't wait to get home, throw down your purse, kick off your shoes, and sleep away the stress and the worries... Or maybe drink them away, depending on who you are. But it's days like today that make those kinds of days all worthwhile. Today I had one of the most exceptional days I've had in a long time. There really wasn't any one thing that stands out in my mind as the defining moment. It was more a combination of everything that happened that will place this day in my mind forever. If I HAD to define it, I would probably say that it started at 10:30 - that was when I realized that I was sleeping in on a Saturday, and with my husband! Some people might not consider that to be an exceptional experience, but until today I can't remember a time that my husband and I have slept in together on a Saturday.
After that high had worn off, the fact that we got to go grocery shopping together was equally fabulous. Maybe it was feeling his hand on the small of my back while we debated about which flavor of ice cream to buy or maybe it was placing bets with him on how much our cart full of food would total at the register. Honestly, I can't really tell you what it was, but I don't really care.
Watching him mow OUR yard, watching him sort OUR laundry, watching him watch me... I guess I never realized how important moments like that really are. But then to top it all off, riding around on his motorcycle holding onto his strong arms with my life in his hands made me realize that there really isn't anyone I would trust with my future more than my baby.
Like I said, days like today make a person realize why it's necessary for everyone to experience stress. Whether it be a Saturday like mine, a weekend getaway, or even just a peaceful moment in the midst of a stressful day, everyone can appreciate the good times a little more when its set apart from the norm.
Here's to wishing every day could be as good as today...
