Opening the Windows

Yesterday was an especially happy day. The weather was unusually cool, the temperatures must have dropped by about 30 degrees overnight, and so I took advantage and opened the windows in my house for the first time since moving in. We've had the air on, because the heat is just too stifling, but the cooler temps. allowed me to open my windows and let the cool breeze in and it felt so nice and was so refreshing and it motivated me to clean all of my windows and shutters and it felt so good when I was finished...it brought peace into the house and into my heart...and then later that day, I met up with some of my friends from junior high and high school and we were able to reconnect after years and as we laughed and talked and shared things in our lives, I was reminded again, why we chose each other as friends then, and why we are still friends today...and to end the day just right, I picked Brian up at the airport and now have him home for the weekend...and this is the last week we will be apart. It has been a long 7 weeks without him here. A part of me has been missing all summer and I look forward to putting all the pieces back together.
