Did you ever have one of those days where everything goes better than right? Yesterday was one of those days for me. It started with my terrific kids working together to clean up while I led my second through summer school. Just as we finished, Kurt's love spoon was delivered. Hand crafted in Wales it was the sequel to the one we bought on our honeymoon. None of the ones we browsed were ambitious enough to have six balls in a cage signifying the desire for six children. We purchased the most meaningful spoon instead and have treasured it all these years. Now we were ready for six balls in a cage. The same craftsmen carved both. I was so excited about giving it to Kurt. Next I took kids to the library to work on Japanese in their study group. While I was out I decided to walk through our little village and actually shop the stores I drive by. It was a pleasant distraction until I reached the Love Inc. thrift store. They often have nice things, but I was not expecting to find a complete set of the Great Books with a terrific binding. I needed a copy of the Syntopicon that I could carry around. My husband's parent's set is both revered and the binding is a bit fragile, so I don't take it out of the house. I dickered the already reasonable price down to a guilt free price. I came home and got ready for a mysterious date that ended at the Apple Store where this 40 year old lady was given an iPad. I love it. I love, love it. The portability is amazing. Last stop was El Burrito Loco--my favorite restaurant. They were nearly empty so the chef put some extra shooozz into my burritos. I felt so blessed and enriched. I'm doing the right things with my life. I've finally found my path. That is so worth turning 40 for.
