A Day Turned Around

So, I got home tonight in a crummy mood. My day at work was the hardest day I have had so far. And, I will admit, it wasn't the kids, or the teachers, I just stink at asking for help when I need it. I need two of me to effectively do this job. I'm such a people pleaser that it gets me into trouble. It will all work out, it always does, but by the time I got home I was tired of thinking of how to work a schedule that makes everyone happy. It's not possible, I've decided that. I'm in a workshop tomorrow so I get a break before I tackle it again Wednesday.

So, I drove in the driveway, and Blondeboy came riding up on his bike. He put his bike in his garage and came over and grabbed my keys. He came in, let Jay out, and I went upstairs to put on my walking clothes while the boys were outdoors. Then we headed out for a walk.

I have a route that I usually take, but Blondeboy asked if I wanted to go down to a different part of the lake. I said, "Sure." We wound up on a bench I had been on before, but we took a different route than I usually take. It was GREAT. We walked and talked, and met some new people along the way. We met mostly kids who Blondeboy goes to school with, but it was still neat. We even met another dog with some kids. Jay still isn't playing well with other dogs, but I believe we'll get there.

We sat at the lake for a few minutes and just admired the scenery. Jay did plenty of exploring, and got away from Blondeboy at one point. Blondeboy did a GREAT job of rescuing him. I wasn't too worried because he was headed to the lake instead of toward cars. I think Jay really likes Blondeboy because he can run with him.

After returning home, I have sat and thought about what a blessing they both are to me. Jay is a blessing for obvious reasons, but having Blondeboy in my life is more of a blessing than he even realizes. I know today he turned a rotten day into a GREAT day.

Thank You, Lord.

Life.
Is.
Good.
