Excited and thankful

Thank goodness for blogs!

I never thought I would enjoy having one, but I do.
Its great to just be able to open up a clean white screen and let the words tumble out of my fingertips onto it. Some days, I don't have very much to say at all or its not that I don't have anything to say, its just that I don't have the inclination to write and then, suddenly, the words just want to come out. Not very much to be written about but the desire to write is there, so here I am, back again. Second post tonight.

The reason?

I'm feeling excited!

I was driving this afternoon and I just had this feeling whell up inside me and I giggled. For no reason, it just bubbled up and out it came. So, these are a couple of things I am excited about:

My sister and her family arriving on Saturday
Bean playing with her cousins, who she hasn't seen in about a year
Me playing with my nieces who I havent seen in about a year
Chatting to my sister in real life person to person, not real life telephone to telephone
Rediscovering Milo!
My plans to buy a sewing machine
The wondrous workings of the universe, I am always intrigued to see how things turn out!

I had a thought the other day, about faith.

You know the saying 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen'? (Its from the bible somewhere, not sure where) well, I was thinking that in order for faith to manifest in the physical world, one needs to be thankful. I haven't done a whole lot of philosophizing on the thought, but it stands to reason, that if one is thankful for what one does have and truly thank full at that, then when faith is combined with that thankfulness, it is more likely to yield results. I don't mean that in a 'results' type of way, more of a reminder that in order for there to be space in ones life for faith, there needs to be thank fullness.

I'm not sure if that makes too much sense, but, I put it out there nonetheless.

And on that final note, I say Thank you for my day and all the experiences in it, I have faith that I will know how to deal with other experiences because of this day.
