Do You See What I See ?

My journey to work every morning is so lovely.

 I can't help but smile as I sit on the bus. There are 7 people ... 5 of them are asian, 1 is white and 1 is me. tee hee. They're taking over Edmonton ! I get to Southgate and step into the brisk winter air.  The mall is open but all of the stores are closed.  Cute old people are doing their morning exercises / walking throughout the mall and they make me so happy. The old couples are the cutest ! All of the store display windows are beautifully (or tackily) decorated for Christmas, I love the Christmas Spirit.  Then I get to the dancing asians.  A group of older asian ladies that dance in an open space at the mall. So adorable.  Back outside where I encounter many cold people. We exchange understanding smiles.  The frost covering the branches of the bare trees is so beautiful, even my frozen breath in the air makes it impossible for me to be anything but happy.  Even in the cold, frozen winter Heavenly Father gives us so many things to be grateful for.  So many things for our enjoyment. And then I'm at work where I'm greeted by 10 smiling, dirty little faces (and the kids) <----- just a little joke there, for your enjoyment.  What a good start to every day.

life is good.
