days like these...

food....that I love :-), originally uploaded by FotoCath.

I love slowing down Internet. I know that we value your speed and that we can become rather impatient when you don't meet our expectations...but sometimes...expectations don't matter so much.

Today, we read books in our beds, we dressed all up and curled our hair, we watched the kids sing songs to us and receive awards, we took pictures, we visited with friends, we ate cookies and we drank tea, we felt the warm breeze in our hair, we took a walk in the sun.

Today we didn't have plans or demands pulling at our hearts.

We just enjoyed...life. We laughed with our neighbors, we danced, we made chicken salad...and we ended it all with....artichokes.

I "heart" days like these.

Encourage one another,
Jodi
