A Delightful Day

I finished rereading the Emma portion from Jane Austen's education. Again, I was blown away, but my thoughts on that are for a later post. Throughout my day, I pondered enjoying the little things in life and the little things in your community.

I did nothing jaw-dropping amazing by people's standards, but I had the most lovely day. I worked from 8 AM to 2 PM at The Grocery Store. I continued building relationships with my coworkers while assisting customers and facing all the candy and soda around me. We were not busy. I ended up bagging most of my groceries because the baggers kept leaving me.

After work, I came home and enjoyed some crackers and cheese. For as long as I remember, I've loved saltine crackers, and I can eat them by the package. I also adore cheese, especially the sharp kind. I discussed my day with my mother, as I impaitently waited for 3 PM.

At 3 PM, I headed to the public library to start my volunteer hours. I loved it; I so want to be a librarian. I searched for books on the computer making sure the library still had them in the system for about an hour and a half. Then I cataloged books for about an hour--making sure they were all the in the correct order on the shelf according to the Dewey Decimal System. I loved working with books I had read as a child; I loved working with ladies who had assisted me in my childhood as I searched for books. I loved it the whole experience, and I can't wait until I can go back and help the youth room more.

I then headed home, and ate dinner with my family. The only problem was that I had to leave right away to pick up my Little Sister, and I couldn't enjoy our family conversation and time. But I got to spend time with my amazing Little Sister, so it evened missing family conversation and time.

LS and I bought Little Caesars and then enjoyed great ice cream from a local ice cream shop all while enjoying the company of each other. Only one more week before she's gone again for the summer. Probably only one more year together. I'm going to miss her so much. Tonight, she gave me a wonderful bear hug.

Now, I'm sitting at home reflecting on my day before I head to my room where I'll watch more of my shows.  And then I'll fall asleep in my glorious bed.

It truly has been a delightful day. The best part is I know there are many more to come.
