Sometimes It's the Small Things

As I get older I find that happiness is most abundant in the moments rather than in the hours or the days.  Today was one of those days.  The Airman and I have been getting up early - 4:45AM - and going on a bicycle ride around our neighborhood.  The temperature is pleasantly cool, it's light enough to see and there's no traffic.  We see features in other yards that we kind of like and might try, we see the occasional dog walker or self walker and we come back to freshly brewed coffee and a new attitude about the day.
I had a doctor's appointment later and for the first time in nearly a year, my blood pressure was not high, it was even, dare I say it - NORMAL!  Then when I got to work, I got the good parking spot in my lot, in the shade.  All in all, it's been a great day!
