Simple things

Today was an interesting day - which helps when you've committed to writing daily on your blog.  

I should've guessed it would downpour today because it did yesterday but honestly the heat has been so overwhleming (especially with my hot coffee routine). Anyway,  I had to get to my Tuesday evening class at another branch and once again I hadn't packed a raincoat but this time I had a scooter to ride on (yay!).

I hopped onto my scooter wearing my black bag and rode to the closest seven eleven.  Two blocks away.  I was drenched.  So I bought a cheap pink raincoat, nearly bought a kiddies one and put it on - while racing against the clock.  But my backpack was on the outside of the raincoat and susceptible to the rain (which had my books in that i was going to teach).  In the process i split the raincoat and decided to just leave my backpack on the outside.  I stopped past home, changed, raced to school and just made it in time to realise I had prepped the wrong lesson.  But this is normal by now. 

In all of this excitement i realise that these things are just part of life and the cool moments of bliss or love are also and worth celebrating!

We sometimes put such emotional emphasis on the things that aren't our taste and I hope to be someone who makes a fuss of the things that are my style and taste ( the way someone says my name or the shape of a key, the colour of a wall or a message from a friend).  

May we emphasize the good in our lives. 
May we thank God for his goodness.

Im grateful that I didn't have my lunch alone, that I could share good news with a colleague and have her share in that joy.  I am thankful for time.  I am thankful for sleep and so with that-  Good night! 

Love, 
Phoenix and Sarah
