I could do a lot of complaining again today. But I won't. Instead, I will choose to be grateful that I am able to spend a whole day with my daughter, doing not much of anything at all. That I am able to travel. For experiencing new things. For laughing with friends. And for alpacas - this one in particular:
Rachael will be in the show ring tomorrow. Wish her lots of luck! We'll be driving home - six and a half hours plus - afterward. Not looking forward to that. But grateful for an extra vehicle so we can take off to alpaca shows three states from home on a weekend that Gene has to work. At his job. Which I am also thankful for.
Falling into bed now...
Today I am grateful that God answers prayers such as "DEAR LORD, PLEASE GET ME OUT OF THIS ATLANTA TRAFFIC ALIVE!!"
He also answers prayers like "Dear Lord, please put Your hand across my mouth and help me not to say something ugly that this person desperately deserves to hear."
It's been a long day. Ranch at 8 a.m., on the road at 9:30, in Georgia by 5, hotel room at 8. I am so ready to shower and go to bed...so I'm also grateful for hot, running water and a bed to sleep in, even when it's in a hotel room and I'd much rather be at home.
