Greenville moments: Where can I find joy in the ordinary?

 "In all things give thanks." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Tuesdays have a steady rhythm: 

  • work during the day
  • D&D with Red's Raiders tonight
Today, I made a point to step out for a moment between meetings for a quick walk. It's important to let myself breathe outside of my normal routine. Greenville has this way of making ordinary moments feel just a tiny bit brighter. Maybe it's the friendliness of people in line or the way the foothills peek through when we are driving to and fro. 

Joy showed up in small ways today: a productive meeting, the excitement of Ryan about his new job, a funny meme from Dr. Ponsia Bile in our D&D chat, and the anticipation of gathering for tonight with Uncle DM at the helm. All of these tiny things add up. 

Cox & Kin has always been and will continue to be about noticing these everyday graces. The more I look for them, the more I find them. 

As you went through your day, what ordinary moment brought you unexpected joy today?

Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems.

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
