Unexpected Blessings

I told a friend yesterday I had such a Blessed morning – I had two wisdom teeth pulled out, and I was so happy! She said it made her laugh to read those two sentences one right after the other, but it was true – the dentist hadn’t thought he’d be able to get them out but was willing to try, as he’d be cheaper than a surgeon, so I was thrilled it worked.

And my whole week has been like that. Tuesday’s Market was full of an unprecedented number of snafus, but they were all ironed out pleasantly and smoothly thanks to you all. The day of our highest percent chance for precipitation, the rains held off until we got the peas in the ground.

Best of all, when I got home from the dentist and attempted to lay on the couch, I discovered a surprising, in-home nurse – our almost two year old, who kept walking by patting my head whispering “Good Girl” (whether she meant me, or that she actually was trying to be good, who knows!) – every time I’d close my eyes, though, she’d jab a little finger in my eye, pry my lid up, and ask, “Mommy? Wake?” My favorite translation – what in the world are you doing, wasting a beautiful sunny day sleeping amid the circus that is our farm family?!

That alone should have been enough encouragement to keep my peepers peeping – yet I must have closed them again, because all of a sudden I felt something cold against my lips and was instantly drowned with our frigid well water. Apparently I looked thirsty in my swollen, lethargic state. And looking at her innocent face, holding her now empty cup and smiling at me, I couldn’t help bursting out laughing, thinking not even wisdom teeth could make me want to miss a minute of this.

We thought my dear Grandma was a pessimist, because when someone would say her glass was always half empty, she would shake her head and claim she didn’t even HAVE a glass. But now I realize I don’t have one either – there isn’t one large enough to fit all my Blessings.

I hope your weekend was full of a few unexpected, unprompted, amusing, and delightful Blessings, too, and as I get ready to close the Market at 9pm, I look forward, as always, to seeing you on Tuesday for a totally happy, hopeful afternoon. Thanks for being part of our Market family.
