It's been the most amazing day & I feel that I would only be ungrateful if I didn't write down the joys, impressions, events & feelings of the day ending with the most poignant part of my day. This morning I took the boys to Wheeler Farm. After many weeks of some amazing results with my Discovery Toys business I have found myself busy with work, but thirsting for some pure connection time with others. It was wonderful to talk with other moms and feel like I connected in a way I hadn't in a while. As I was headed home I felt the desire to stop by and visit with my good friend (& walking partner from 3 years ago), Melanie. It was SO nice to spend time with friends & my kids.
I did have to squeeze a little work in today, but after the nice break I was happy to get back to work. As I was walking out to my car to load my products I overheard a woman talking to some men at the desk out in the foyer. It sounded as though she had loaned her sunglasses to a woman at the desk because the sun was coming in through the windows very brightly. As she was ready to jump in her car and head home she came to collect her sunglasses only to find no one at the desk and no sunglasses. She told the men she had a 3 hour drive home and needed them. She was not able to find her sunglasses and headed out to her car as I was loading mine. I asked her if it was sunglasses she was needing and she proceeded to share her story again with me. Again I asked her if she wanted sunglasses and explained that I had some she could have. She offered to pay me but I had plenty as Kent recycles his old work sunglasses to me. When I told her I needed no payment she was very gracious and thankful. It felt good to be the relief for this lovely woman today.
The most poignant part of my day was when Kent and I finally got to the performance of the Orchestra on Temple Square. My friend Rebecca had called asking if she could order tickets in my name and have Kent and I go with her & her family. The funny part was when she told me it was "An Austrian Cello Concerto and a Russian Symphony I think all I heard was Austrian & Concert and it processed in my mind as Yodeling. When I told Kent what we were doing he processed it in his head as Opera so I've been joking all week that we were going to the Yodeling Opera. lol
First of all I want to say that I am SO thankful to be married to a man who enjoys things like symphonies, plays & the ballet. We may not go to them much but every now and then I like to go to them. I am thankful to my sister-in-law Darcy for exposing him to culture. I am amazed at how much I forgot I could be moved by beautiful music.
The Austrian Cello Concerto was nice. I enjoyed it, but it was no where near as superb as the symphony. I will share more about what I learned tomorrow. What a lovely & beautiful day! Below is a link to the symphony we enjoyed!
