Today's Joy: Just a Good Day.

There's nothing spectacular or particularly noteworthy about today, Reader. It's a rainy Wednesday in late May. I went to work this morning--a typical four-hour shift at my store. I quietly helped a few people, made some money and freshened up several vignettes around the store. I was in a good mood, shared that with others and was aware of God being in my heart all day.

After work, I picked Mom up and saw her safely home, then headed home myself. Sang along to K-Love the whole way. Once home, I petted the cat, got the mail and half-heartedly scolded the poodles & dalmatian for tracking mud through the kitchen. Then the rain let up for a minute so I popped out and got this great shot of one of my gerbera daisies.

Yup, a totally peaceful, ordinary day. Ahhhh. Hope yours was too.

The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Today's Joy: Taking Stock.
I spent some time rummaging thru my flickr photo archives today, Reader.  Wanted to see what kind of material I'd amassed and what images might be suitable to sell.  Very interesting (and productive).
It was enlightening to see how the work has evolved over the years.  I'm still amazed that God directed me down this path (for years I assumed writing would be my only creative love). 

Isn't it something to look back and see how the events of your life flow and wind before coming together and pointing the way toward your next adventure? 

I can't wait to see how this one turns out! One thing is certain, there will be pictures of it.
