Day 4

Aaand the gratitude today goes to a somewhat small corner of my life.

Sometimes I take sanity-saving walks for a few minutes during the day.

There's just something about the sunshine and the outdoors that just...makes sitting inside at a desk seem a little less dreary. :)

And today, as I walked back to my office from the tiny little creamery in this little corner of campus, I thought for a minute of my own college days...when I worked in Aggie Ice Cream (for some reason the small creamery always reminds me of AIC) and how I'm glad I don't work there anymore, but I still miss days with the Aggie Ice Cream Rap,courtesy of Kara, Marni, and Megan, with me crying laugh tears on the sidelines.) :)

Those were fun days. 

That was a tangent. :)

But this is today, and I've developed a strange love for this little corner of my world...especially in the fall!

 Say hello to my little afternoon scripture study bench. Nobody is ever there, so it's perfect in its tranquility.

 And those are the majestic mountains I see every day, as I'm about to enter the building for the next 8 hours or so...and I still think they're breathtaking. :)

And last night was full of little grateful moments:

30 uninterrupted minutes of scripture study, sitting in the North Visitor's Center on Temple Square on the benches by the Christus statue while I waited for my vocal assessment for MoTab.

That vocal assessment was the most singing fun I've had in a while. :)

A friend's wedding reception where I met a few more choir members, and I keep getting that "right place" feeling. I love the relief that brings.

The realization I'm going to be spending a WHOLE LOT more time on Temple Square. 

Whew.

But once again, I digress.

I just loved the walk outside today in the middle of my work day. That's all. :)
