Appreciating each day for itself

Long ago I discovered, except for rare exceptions, each day has something wonderful in it.  Sometimes you *really* have to look, but it's there.  After my earlier post, I have had an interesting couple of hours.  For one thing, I made my first complete meal since the surgery!  I made salad (and washed the veggies) and navy bean soup.  I'm pleased!  I adore cooking, and I'm so excited I was able to do it.  That's progress!  Yeah, I was then too tired to shower and dress, but I'm going to do that next.  :)

Another thing is, I watched half a movie while Mark and Anna were at church and the store (will finish it tonight).  I didn't know what it was about, but got on the list at the library, and my name came up.  It's called Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.  Or is it the opposite?  Anyway, it has Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks in it.  Don't know why it's called that yet, and I hope it has a happier ending than the first hour.

Regardless of the odd movie title, it is a good reminder for me of how everybody's life is difficult and one should cherish each day with those you love, because well, you never know.  So, even though I cried through the first hour of the movie, I'm cheered.  I love my family and friends so much, and I'm blessed to have many special people in my life.
