Josh has left for Bangladesh, so we are counting down the days until he is back! Luckily, his parents will be here on the 10th so we'll have some company, looking forward to their visit! So far I have mostly been keeping busy trying to update my photography website and make it look more professional. Given that I'm trying to do it while Gretta is sleeping, I have come to realize it takes a lot more know-how than I have time to learn! No wonder web designers and developers get paid the big bucks...and why they go to school for many years.
Decided to go for a walk today around 4:30 instead of our usual morning time and it was fairly comfortable out, which made me happy!! I don’t know if it was because it was a Sunday afternoon or because it was later in the day, but it was unusually busy at the park today. Lots of picnickers, runners and families enjoying the evening. As Rascal Flatts’ version of “Life is a Highway” came up on my ipod, I was reminded of this week’s episode of The Office and I had a good chuckle to myself. That led me to thinking about home and while we were walking in the park I thought it was almost like a summer night back home, the smell of grilling coming from the street vendors and their early evening wares further set the stage, along with a few more songs that made me both a little nostalgic and a little sad. Then the next song came on and I heard these lyrics “Hey, I’ve got nothing to do today…….but smile.” I took note of all the extra people smiling at Gretta as I strode by with her sitting up straight in her stroller, taking it all in and I thought, although we are missing Josh, other friends and family and home, that is a good line to remember on days like this!
