Doing blogs on a regular basis has made me aware and so appreciative of life.  That is because I have become more observant and intentional about daily events.   Things change from day-to-day and in so many ways.  Little things that happen really do impact us and can make us more grateful.   Today, I had several wonderful things that made me smile. I will share a few, but I’d like you to think about what small thing made a difference for you today?

The first surprise was early in the morning when a fellow Kiwanis member stopped into my office.  She brought over my new tee shirt along with a $5 refund for over payment.  Very cool.   I had worked through my lunch yesterday and missed our Wednesday meeting.  What a thoughtful gesture on her part to deliver it to me!  I was thrilled!  Now that seems like such a simple thing, but what a pleasant way to start my day.  Thanks Carol.File Aug 11, 10 27 17 PM

Later in the day, I received a photo from my son of a house that belonged to his grandparents.  It was a surprise and brought back memories.  Plus later this evening we had a great conversation about it.

Tonight the man and his sons that do our lawn showed up.   In addition to cutting and trimming the grass they brought their power washer.  Our patio and the back of house is sparkling brightly.  They always have a great attitude and complete the extra little things I ask  them to do!  Thank you!

So there you have it, just a few random moments of joy that may a simple day a great one.  There are always things to be grateful for and mini miracles that seem to blossom when we least expect it!
