I had a really good day today. A 'good' day generally only requires a few positive ingredients; a 'really good' day requires a few more.
Today brought:
-My birthday! (Okay, bittersweet. Now 33 and pushing out the greys.)
-A new woollen jumper! Yay!
-The continuation of what's been a good month of business for me
-A chocolate Freddo
-Philippians chapter 2
-A brief catch-up with some friends
-Some appointments for my trip to Launceston tomorrow and Friday
-A big 'welcome home' from Caelan, who ran to greet me (and then tripped over, smacking his forehead on a concrete step)
-A delightful dinner with my wife (prawns and tagliotelle with a lovely 'Meeting Place' champagne)
-Coffee and cheesecake for dessert
-Garbage collection night! Yay!
-A warm bed to sleep in
-My nightly blog
I'm off to Tassie tomorrow for some business and the funeral of a friend. While I love going to Tassie, I miss my family, and I will certainly miss this friend who has been a part of almost all our visits to Tassie.
So today is a day I have relished. I was hoping to share a couple of beers with my neighbour this evening (which would have topped it off), but he was a busy. Nevertheless, he was kind enough to come around and leave me with some Gaymers Original Cider. Good neighbour, this one. And no, I'm not sharing him - get your own beer-giving neighbour!
What does a 'good day' look like to you? And how much does it involve a certain quality of engagement with other people?

I am spending the day with Jeff in front of the fire today. That's all it takes ............ A really good day!
You trumped me there, Jim.
You're quite right. Sometimes it's just the simple things that make a day memorable for years to come.
