The simple things...

I just wanted to drop a quick note to express the gratitude I am feeling tonight. Dan and I had such a simple weekend, but it was full of things I love. We drove out of the downtown area of Miami to a smaller suburb. We roamed around some outdoor shopping, but the highlight of our trip to the suburbs had to be our grocery shopping experience. Instead of weaving through a parking garage, then trying to squeeze your buggy through the two feet aisles that are in downtown grocery stores, we got to park outside, walk outside to the front door, enjoy the wide aisles and significantly lower number of people...this may sound strange to some, but anyone who has lived in a downtown area of a large city is definitely understanding where I'm coming from. It was fabulous. Like I said, its the simple things. Then we went to a Japanese restaurant, one of my faves, and enjoyed our meal  being cooked in front of us. I have no idea why, but few things entertain me more. Then we had a wonderful Sunday. After church I baked cookies, made Dan's favorite dinner of roast with twice baked potatoes, worked on a little top secret sewing project, and just spent time with my husband. I am just feeling so grateful for the simple things in life that make us happy. I must say I feel so content.

I promise I won't do these boring run downs of everything I do often, I just felt the need to express my gratitude for the simple things in life, tender mercies.
