Rollin, rollin, rollin keep them legs a Rollin alooooong. Being thankful in the mundane things.
I am driving down the road and I see a man running sideways through the cross walk towards the city bus. At the moment I thanked God I had transportation. My grey truck is old, rattles, squeals but it gets me from point A to point B. I am very thankful.
First world problems. Within ten minutes of me driving I hear a loud noise in the back of my truck. The rattling continued and I didn’t have time to pull over for fear of not being on time to work. The loud commotion were parts of my husband’s coffee roaster. (for the future look for passion:coffee, or if your interested in home roasted coffee ask me) The sound reminded me of birds being tortured in a cage. This sound I imagine but I haven’t heard that particular noise yet. I seriously had a moment of embarrassment while driving down the interstate. I thought people could hear the metal screeching in the back seat. Then I reminded myself that’s foolish and impossible. When leaving work I moved the roaster around so the noise was set to mute. The ruckus was just annoying.
In a Godly perspective….I’m saying the noise was eventful! The event brought: character to my day, reminded me how thankful I am to have transportation and how thankful I am to have peace in quiet while I drive. What should you celebrate in the wonderful and mundane of your life? I would love to hear your perspective.

Nanny: today I received this decorated apologetic note from one of the kids. I got gold stars!!!!!!I love gold life stars.
Tutor: I don’t know what happened to the teenage girl but today she was fine. There was hardly any attitude. Maybe mood swings? Or my noggin was right, her behavior was to impress her friend. I pray the better behavior continues.
While I am with these teenagers after nannying I think of what my nanny boss says, “Make good choices.” I hope I don’t say that to these teenagers. They would just stare at me oddly.
Today the mundane was a day well spent of my life! I thank the good Lord I worked and am tired. We were made to work and it feels great.
