Today I had to walk the kids to school as the car was in the shop so Mark took the van. Because we send Madi to french imemrsion - the school is a bit further to walk to (not the school she's zoned for).

I left in a very bad mood. A  Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

But then something happened.

The sun came out and the world came alive.

I saw a robin red breast.

Madi showed me how she runs like a cheetah.

Eden called out "mom" and when I answered she said "not you, I'm talking to my pet panther named mom" and I laughed outloud.

Madi picked up a stick and pretended it was a magic wand and commanded the weatehr to become summer.

Eden had a screaming fight with the "stupid wind" because she hates the wind blowing in her face.

We saw a man riding a wagon pulled by a pony on Main St. in Hamilton.

Madi sang me worship songs from church.

Eden and I spotted flowers defying the neverending winter and starting to grow!

Madi told me about her day in more detail (true facts for once) than I've had in ages.

Eden picked our route as we meandered home.

My daughters held my hand.

I was reminded - life is good. Very good.
