One of those days

Ever have one of those days? You know the kind... anything that can go wrong will and as the day progresses, it only gets worse.

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.


Grilled Caesar Chicken Breasts

taken from Simple & Delicious

(Marcia Wallenfeldt ~ Kent, OH)

1/2 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
3 Tablespoons olive oil
3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 oz. each)*

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the dressing, oil, mustard and garlic. Add the chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

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 used a 20 oz. package of chicken breast tenders and cut back the broiling time.
