One (Almost) Perfect Day



Even though every day of life is a gift, some days are extra special and this was one of the best.

It started out with swimming 40 minutes of laps, followed by a one hour aqua aerobics class. Exercise always contributes to feeling fabulous.

A day trip to a town an hour away included a stop at my favorite international market, Trader Joe's, where I stocked up on my husband's favorite non-alcoholic ginger beer.  Also got some yummy chevre (goat cheese) at rock bottom prices and other assorted items.

Stopped at a farm stand and bought some fresh corn-on-the-cob.

The bummer part of the day came when a lady backed her car into mine while I was stopped to buy sunflowers. Unfortunately, I didn't get her insurance information.


 At the time, I felt kind of sorry for her because she was an elderly lady. She sure didn't offer her insurance information and actually drove away rather quickly.




 My car's fender has a big fat dent in it. I'm sad about that because I love my car and now I'll probably have to pay for the repair myself. Oh well. I'm glad it wasn't worse, like having the whole door dented.

Shopped  at two of my favorite thrift stores and found a couple of new treasures, including a pretty cobalt blue tray that I really like.

Then, made and  enjoyed a mostly vegetarian supper. Made a pan of yummy red and green peppers, onions, and mushrooms in olive oil and served that with rice, beans, and sweet corn.

Ended the day with an enchanting walk along a lake as the sun was setting.  My heart filled with gratitude to have been given such a beautiful day to remember.
