I felt happy today. I know, I have happy moments everyday and there have been many moments of JOY lately, but this was the FIRST time since I can't remember when that I actually felt HAPPY. As fast as that moment came, it was gone. Thoughts of "I shouldn't feel this way, there is still so much going on and I can't feel this way until I know things are going to get better!" Shame on me. I wish I could send that feeling of happy across the internet waves to you all...what a giddy, overwhelming, SMILING, moment it was! I wish I could get it back....it was so nice to FEEL happy! Hopefully the next time a wave of happiness like that comes along, I hold onto it with both hands and go with the flow!
We had a really nice day at the Pet Expo at the fair grounds. We got to see all kinds of animals and the boys had fun petting dogs, looking at fish, petting fluffy kitty cats, and looking at all of the animal STUFF they had there. I bought a few items for our future puppy....couldn't help myself :-) I am so grateful that we have this wonderful gift of puppy coming into our lives! It gives me hope, it gives me excitement. We saw a man carrying a puppy Golden Retriever today and I laughed as I told David that it would be us soon doing that!
After the Pet Expo, we went to one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants. It was a really nice time and both boys were great! YEA! Especially because it was 3 O Clock and we had not yet taken naps...so for both of them to be so good was amazing!
When we got back in the car, the boys were being really noisy and crazy, as usual. So I put in a Christian CD that I got from MOPS yesterday. I kid you not, we drove the rest of the way home in complete SILENCE! It is amazing what happens when the Spirit of the Lord is present...even in a car! So I went online and bought some more kid Christian music from a lady named Jana Alyra who came to MOPS a while ago and shared her faith journey and music...the boys are going to love the music and I just might play it the entire 8 hours to Utah when we go this summer!
Well all, it is time to get my kiddos to bed and prepare for the Sabbath day tomorrow. I am grateful for my moments of happiness and for my happy moments that happened today! Hope you all are finding joy in this life!
