“How was your day?” I ask my daughter as she gets off the bus and we begin our two mile walk home.  We are trying to walk more than 160 miles in an 8 week period for school.

“Good and bad.”

“What happened?  Tell me the bad first.”

She explains that another child won the honor of having lunch with a visiting author, something she truly wanted to do.  We talk about it for a while and then she pipes up.

“But the good thing was that we had Corndogs for lunch!”

Sometimes it truly is the little things that brighten our days.
