yesterday

So, pretend I wrote this blog yesterday...I really meant to, but boy, was I tired! Yesterday, the thermometer hit a whopping 70 degrees. Yes, folks, it is (was) January 7th. I saw this day as a gift from God. The past week was rough. I was not feeling good, Dan was working a lot and Anna was fussy. We needed OUT of the house! Well, yesterday was the perfect opportunity. Anna and I headed to Centennial Park in Columbia. I could not have asked for a nicer day. There was a nice breeze in the air, the ducks were swimming peacefully, and the sky was blue and open...perfect. We took a 2-mile walk around the lake (every step reminding me that I am indeed out of shape). Anna was so content, she just looked wide-eyed at the environment surrounding us. I believe she will be an "outdoorsy" girl. I wish Dan could have joined us, I know he would have enjoyed every second.

Thank you , Lord, for refreshing our minds, spirits and bodies...it was much needed.
