Something in me relaxed this week. I have been delighting in the little things better, the change of weather, the fun of pulling out Fall decorations, cleaning the house to music I can dance to, having the warmth of a house full of friends, watching volleyball games, smiling to the lady next to me during Groove class at the gym, a new playlist on my ipod. I do a lot of driving since my work is about 40 minutes from where I live. As I commute to work, run errands & drop Rachel off places I have also been noticing lots of little things that are funny to me, but usually I am alone and have no one to share them with, an honestly I have a hard time explaining why they are funny sometimes. One such moment was watching a woman devour a corn dog at a gas station yesterday (Facebook friends already saw that one), another was watching an older couple in a car next to me eating those bright orange peanut butter crackers, like I said I can't always explain why these things are funny to me, they just are. A few days ago after dropping Rachel off at school I saw a teen girl in a yellow mustang tear into a parking spot. She had a giant decal of yellow lips on her back window and a vanity plate that said "Britnay." I felt like I was watching the stero-typical high school snob straight out of High School Musical III or something. It's nice to enjoy the little things. I think I have been practicing that this week... taking every opportunity to dance, sing, laugh & hug. This may seem a little cheesy but it hasn't been fake, it's just been taking notice of all the good things God has given me. There are always plenty of hard things but this week has been about counting my blessings.

The unexplainable joy in a peanut butter cracker...
