The Best Day of My Life!

I kept grandkids this past week, well I know Sunday starts a new week but I kept Mallory and Emily Sunday. They went to Sunday School with me and then we went to eat at CiCi's Pizza, (big mistake) what a mess, well, with Emily not so much with Mallory. They both wanted pepperoni pizza and then they both picked the pepperoni off the pizza and ate plain cheese pizza. I had asked them if they wanted cheese pizza and of course "NO, we want pepperoni!" Go figure, anyway, feeding my grandkids is my least favorite thing to do with them EVER! After lunch I was kind of out of sorts because of the lunch mess and of course we had planned on swimming in the afternoon. We ended up of course having a great time in the pool. Last year at the end of the swimming season they were both unafraid of the water and Mallory was swimming without a life jacket, and Emily was jumping off the side of the pool and swimming (in her floatie swimsuit) back to the steps to do it all over again. This was a new season and they had to get used to it all over again and they had a great time. I don't think Mallory has been to our house in the past 6 months that she didn't tell me about something else she had done and she always ends the story with, "That was the BEST day of my life!" When she left our house Sunday, she told me, "This was the Best day of my life!" Grouchy ole Grammy thought to herself, and said out loud, "Oh, Mallory! you say that about everyday." After she left and all day today, I have thought to myself what a great habit it would be to think everyday you spent was the BEST day of your life! Wouldn't we all be in better mental health if we could adopt that attitude? If God blesses us with the ability to be healthy enough to get up in the morning, mow grass, drive a car, go to the grocery store, visit with friends, clean our houses, take care of all the blessings God has given us, shouldn't every day be the BEST day EVER?! From the mouths of babes comes a truth that we should all embrace. May you always be such a positive thinker Miss Mallory! Love you!
