Oh, what a beautiful morning!

This is one of those perfect mornings, when you just have to take a minute to sit back and think, Wow, life is good. I set the alarm for 8 a.m. but we spent an extra 25 minutes snuggling in bed, followed by an invigorating half-hour on the treadmill, then a quick shower. The house is quiet. Yesterday's snow and sleet has been replaced by a brisk day with blue skies and the sun shining. As CLH reads on the couch, I've got time to heat up some leftover hashbrown casserole for a leisurely breakfast while checking email. The church choir isn't singing today, so we have another 10 minutes to relax before heading to Greeley, where we'll get to be members of the congregation for a change. It's the last day of vacation for CLH before he heads back to work tomorrow morning. I've got two more weeks of break and I plan to fully enjoy them and make the most of the time off. Life is good!
