The Breeze In The Parking Lot

Friday a week ago, Hayden and I were in the grocery store parking lot headed to the car to go home. We parked far away for exercise, for freedom from dings and so that we could chat on the way. The warm morning hours had somehow turned a little cooler which was a nice change. As we walked, I was telling Hayden about all of the things that I loved, him being the first, of course. I was telling him how I loved my family and friends, how I loved nature and animals, and how I even loved grocery shopping. He actually seemed to be listening and to be understanding what I was saying. I then looked up at the sky, a sudden breeze hit my face, and I had the most peaceful feeling that I think I have ever had in my life. What a better place than the grocery store parking lot to realize that your life is wonderful and that everything was going to be alright. Now, I'm not numb to pain and change and such, but with the events going on in my life at the moment, this sudden feeling was needed and very much welcomed. Since that day, I have continued to feel more peace, calmness and serenity in my life than I have in a while. I pray that it continues. I think it came at a very opportune time.....
