Currently, Vol 3

My hubby was gone all week last week making it somewhat productive/somewhat lazy. All-in-all was a good week, but so glad he comes home tomorrow!

This post almost didn't get written. I have entered a lazy streak, but trying to break it. So, here I sit, writing.

Currently....

Thinking about...this young lady I met today while walking home from the grocery store. It was bright and sunny and I had just tripped over my own two feet and was chuckling to myself, I looked up and smiled at her. She did not look happy. She said something to me in Dutch to which I responded, "Sorry I don't know that much Dutch yet", she happily conversed with me in English, it went something like this:

YL: I am not happy so I cannot laugh.

Me: I'm sorry to hear that.

YL: Why, you cannot do anything about it.

Me: Well, you are so sad that you cannot return a smile and for that I am sorry, I truly hope your day gets better.

YL: I don't.

Me: (extremely taken by surprise) Well, I am sorry to hear that but you are very young and I promise today will not be the worst day that you have. Even if you don't hope your day gets better I hope that for you, be careful out there.

A few minutes later I see her on her bike and she yells at me, "Mevrouw, look at me! I am smiling! Are you?" I told her I was and I was glad to see her smiling...she rode off as teenagers do dancing around in her bike seat and looked to be having a better day.

I initially left the conversation feeling very sad for this young lady but knew in the end I did all I could and truly hoped things got better for her, and I hope, since she smiled a bit, her day did turn around.

Excited about....hubby coming home tomorrow, lunch with friends this week, a ladies night in with friends this week, and date night with the husband! There are many other little things I am excited about, but those are the highlights ;)

Crafting...a Valentine's Day banner, centerpiece, and a ridiculously cute/cheesy Valentine's Day t-shirt set for the hubby & I!

Loving...the weather we have had. It has been a lot of fog and snow, but it was a welcome change from the just dreary cloudy weather! Today it was sunny though! 

Looking at....my yearly goals notebook trying to make sure I am on track for all the things I want to accomplish. So far I am somewhat getting there.

Thankful for....so many things! The number one has to be the opportunity to show our daughter Europe and teacher her about the history of the world in a hands on way.
