i am a lucky girl

yesterday amidst the stress of our nation's economy

all the talk about John McCain's suspended campaign

the 'into the night' talks at the Capitol

Letterman acting like a jerk

with my almost empty gas tank~

I hooked up with my new found 'thanks to the world of blogging' friends

i giggled & laughed

i was hugged

i played at Pottery Barn Kids for almost 2 hours

i watched two little birdies flutter around our table at The Corner Bakery

i learned about Chinese adoptions

i learned about her surgeries, one of many

i learned about my new friends

i delighted in my day

& i left with a heart full of gratitude for a precious little girl & her warm, loving mommy and how they made me feel like a lucky girl ....just to know them
