Uxbridge is the new black

I had the most perfect day yesterday. After an evening of popcorn and movies and catching up, I woke up in my super comfy bed at the lovely miss Emily's house to fabulous music. We left about 20 minutes after I woke up (who needs makeup anyways?) to drive her to her job at Harlow's, my favorite coffee shop, next to Coffee Culture. She whipped me up a Vanillia Soy Latte, for the road and I began the lovely drive to Newmarket, Ipod in hand, wind on my face, and Latte cooling, in my fabulous little car. I got to town around 8am, so I had an hour to kill before work.
I parked at Fairly Lake and just walked around, hung out with God, and enjoyed the beautiful park.

Just to make the morning a little more perfect, I was passed by two boys who were clearly terrified to see a girl, and who starting speaking very loudly about elves and wizards and maidens, I think to try and emulate coolness.

From my morning, I would assume that only the most lovely people stroll through parks at 8am on a Friday morning. Every single person said "Hello" or "Good morning". It was humid, so my curly hair was about the size of a soccer ball by the time I walked to work, but there is such liberty in being more concerned with life and enjoying the moment, than fussying over something trivial, such as appearances.

I worked the morning and took my break at home, where my mom's cell group was hanging out in the backyard by the pool. They were the most fun ladies to spend my lunch with. And I ended my day nannying my gorgeous kids, while watching Napolean Dynamite, which just happened to be on TV.

It was just one of those days when the world seems a little bit more beautiful and peaceful. And God rises up such a hope for the future in me. He reminds me to appreciate all of the little details that He made for us and be unconcerned with the unimportant things. He reminds me that He is faithful and forever pouring out simple blessings on me. And He teaches me, softly and gently, as always, to be thankful, and patient. I think about where my life was a month ago, and where He has brought me and it is just completely unimaginable. And my favorite part of all, it is completely impossible by the hands of Man.
