Enjoying a break from the norm

Yesterday, not only was it gorgeous outside in Topeka, Kansas, but I also had the day off.  I thought I needed a day to unwind and just get to relax, enjoy my chickens, my husband, crochet, and just be in the moment.  I had a wonderful day off!  I even was surprised to find a new little friend in my fish pond.  A cute turtle that stayed for a while.  And I got to enjoy my daughter's face when she got off the bus today.  I wish so much that I could see her on and off the bus everyday.  But having a day off, helps me to really live in the moment and cherish the times that I do get to be with the ones I love and see all of God's greatest gifts...
