1) Our last 4th grade science fair project.  Found out it had to be in tomorrow instead of Friday.  Ugh.  Good news is that Toby has been working on it so it was just his display board.  It was fun to work with him, managed to get what should have been spread out over 2 days done in one evening, with no tears, lots of laughs and him doing all of the work.  I guided and was a cheerleader, but it had to be his work.  I even sat on my hands when he was gluing and cutting.  Perfectionist tendencies firmly under control.  The result?  He is thrilled with his project.

2) The many opportunities to help other people if you just keep your eyes open.  Followed an instinct today asking a lady as we walked out of Walmart at the same time, if she needed help unloading her cart.  She had a full cart and 3 bags of dog food.  She wasn't old, maybe in her 60's.  She hesitated then looked relieved and said yes.  As we walked to her car, she shared that she had cancer.  She had a good day, so she went to the store, but was at the end of her energy.  I don't write this to pat myself on the back.  I wrote it down so that I can remember how lucky I am to have the spirit in my life to give me promptings. 

3) Library card...I kiss you.  I love you....if polygamy was still legal I would marry you.  ha ha.
