It was SO nice last night after work to come home with Sunshine still bright and high in the sky. Sam went off for a bike ride and while I was SOOO tired and VERY grouchy and I decided I might as well go for a walk. This is why we love living at the beach I reminded myself. I took my iPhone and put some good worship music on (since I was in such a bad mood I thought some positive music that was about God and not my little self centered self would be helpful:). I was less than 5 minutes down the road and was feeling better--even HAPPY. As you can see by the smile on my face! Gotta love those endorphins!
I walked by the bay and then around to the beach side and just enjoyed the sunshine and feeling healthy. There were SO many people out on walks, bike rides, and just enjoying the beach. I found myself quite teary on the walk--blasted prego emotions...well, I guess I am always teary :) I was just overwhelmed with how much God has done and how much He has deepened our faith and character. Hard times are just that HARD but the development is always worth it. It was such a sweet reminder yesterday.
We both got back about the same time and had SO much of the light evening still ahead. Even though we lost an hour of sleep the extra light and the fact that it was SUNNY more than made up for it. The rain and cold are coming again soon this week but at least there are a few days of sun and less and less of cold!!!
Dana, it was 111 degrees here in Riverside today! This prego lady was melting...as well as my rowdy bunch of third graders. It's funny how the grass is always greener...today I'd trade NZ's gloom for just about anything. :)
