What a beautiful day!

Today is the first day in quite a while that I didn't have to wake up by any certain time. As I went to bed last night, though, I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay asleep very long because of my excitement for today to begin. Sure enough, I woke up at the very time that my alarm normally goes off. I rolled over and heard birds chattering and the sun was shining brightly through my window. I thought to myself, "Good! The sun ought to shine extra brightly today." In a few hours, my smile is going to shine brightly, too. I will be grinning from ear to ear with joy overflowing from being reunited with my husband! What a beautiful day this is!
