Have you ever had a day when everything you look, hear, or experience makes you smile? Of course the day is just starting, but this morning on the way to work, I had that experience. As I said, the day is just starting out, but everything that has appeared in front of me, everything has enlightened my day.
On the drive into work, I saw the moon in it's final stages, like a thin finger nail. It just made me smile. Why was that? Crazy, huh. Then I listened to some music from the Tab Choir, and I heard "Amazing grace". Then I smiled because when it gets to the drum part, Bonnie always acts the drummer, and as I drive along, I watch her, "listen" to her drumming the drum part as she acts it out, so on my way to work as it was playing, I "saw" Bonnie playing the drums. She is quite a drummer with her sewing needles striking those bass drums.
As I opened the door at work, no one was here. Why would that make me smile? I don't know but it did. I smiled all the way to my desk. I looked at the small mess and smiled again.
Yesterday we were in Deseret Book purchasing a gift for my grand daughter, and they were giving out cinnamon rolls. I was the last one and I got one. I brought it to work today, so as I eat it with raisins, I am really smiling, for I love cinnamon rolls with raisins. So I smile through my breakfast this morning. Then I smile remembering my daughter (not to mention names, for she would feel embarrassed, but it starts with an M.) making me my favorite rolls, and she did put in the raisins, but she forget the cinnamon. Have you ever eaten cinnamon rolls without cinnamon? Another reason to smile.
Part of the reason for smiling is I feel my Father's all-caring love today. No matter the circumstances, the challenges, the trials, or the lessons being learned, I know He is aware of us, our push toward a mission, and the mountains we have to climb to get there. They don't bother me for He is near, and helping me smile today. I need to work on getting that every day, all day long, for nothing else really matters, honest. Now, we will see if I can keep that smile ringing through my mind all day long.
