A Good Day

Who knew what a nice rain shower and a break in the 100 degree temperatures could do for my attitude.  This morning, we woke up to a gentle rain shower coupled with large claps of thunder and it was like music to our ears.  The gentle rain quickly turned into big rain drops and by the time I left for work, it was coming down in sheets.  And I couldn't have been happier!

The cool temperatures that lingered around for the day were a reminder that Fall, my favorite season of all, is on its way.  The clearing skies and slight crispness in the air added a little pep in my step as I was reminded why I'm thankful I live in Kansas...the promise of changing seasons!

Another bonus for the day was that today was National S'mores Day and as promised, we did take the opportunity to celebrate.  Brandon humored me as he fought to get the fire started.  I don't think he was quite as excited about this holiday as I was.  Thankfully, he's a good sport and we enjoyed our gooey, melty treats!

Today was definitely a good day.  I find we often get caught up in the stresses of life and forget to celebrate the small things, no matter how trivial they may seem.  I encourage you to celebrate something small this week!
