Yesterday was one of those days for me. Usually I can draw myself out of my funk by stopping and thinking about how good my life is. Seriously, I am SO blessed! I try to make a conscious effort to thank God for this on a regular basis. Still.... my pity party continued throughout most of the day.
Pictured here is something that I don't think I've ever seen in our house before. That certainly provided an interesting temporary diversion! Also, I tried another new dish for supper last night (see recipe below) and it ended up being really good - another positive for the day.
Things, of course, look brighter today. God doesn't promise that life will be easy, but He does promise that He will always be there for us. A comforting thought.

Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken, covered over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170F.

I am happy to hear that today was better! I think we have had our share of tough days in the family this summer, but this week has also been better (in spite of the cold which is just one of those minor things that drag you down but which you survive eventually).
I can't wait to try to make that chicken!!
Yesterday was not a good day for me, either. Today was lookin' up.
The week flew by... didn't even blog. I'll make up for that this weekend. And I finally caught up with my DVR recordings of "Chopped" so I could watch the two Championship shows! Loved 'em.

I'm sorry you had a bad day. We get scorpions in our bath tub ever so often. I guess they climb in through the pipes. So far, I've seen them and not hopped in to share a bath. :-) Thanks for the recipe. It's one I'll definitely do. Love & Blessings!
TOMORROW will be an amazing day, Sis!!!!! :) I INSIST!
Sorry about yesterday. I had one of those on Mon. and one before that last week.
That recipe sounds scrumptous!!!! Must try it!
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! I'm running away from your scary photo!!! I would have left the house and stayed in a hotel if I saw that!! May your upcoming days be wonderful!
I had a rotten day too. And just when I thought, “Cheer up, things could be worse” I was reminded of how right I was. They got worse.
But today’s looking lots better, and like you I see life as very sweet, but not always perfect.
Have a great day today – and tomorrow and ever after too, Boonie
Sometimes, Kelly, I think faith is simply wading through the hard times in expectation that the next day will be better. That is trusting God.
Thanks for not pointing out how annoying your son was being about insisting that the scorpion be spared. Haha.
Well, one good thing happened! That thang did'nt sting you. They hurt. A lot!
