Joyful Moments

I have no idea how I got started following this blog, but every now and again I check in on a blog called Abiding Joy.  Every day she comes up with a joyful moment, or something to be grateful for.  She's on day four hundred something now.  I'm not so optimistic about my abilities to blog every day, however I am very aware of my need to document some of these fun things that are happening in my life right now!

Today it was a rain storm.  Before the winds came and branches everywhere.  Before the hail.  I showed Miriam the rain out of the window and she asked me, "Where is my umbrella?"  It made me think of Laurie and her boys taking their umbrellas out to test the sound of the rain on them.   Anyway, we had just gotten out of the bath so I told her to go put clothes on.  This isn't exactly her forte yet (she's not a dress up kind of girl) so her shirt was on backwards  but I really didn't mind at all.  I was pretty proud she really did the whole thing by herself without asking me for help.  Impressed really.  


Then we opened up the umbrella and went outside to sit in the rain.  She enjoyed it so much she wanted me to run the hose on the umbrella, which I did for a little while.  I do love our fun spontaneous things like that.
