Just One of Those Perfect Days

I've had an absolutely amazing day! No, really, I mean it. You know, the kind of day where everything goes right, and the entire day feels like it keeps getting better and better.

It started in the morning, after a really good night of sleep. I woke up a full forty-five minutes early, feeling completely rested, and discovered that my beautiful wife was also awake and ready to start the day. No groggy start, wishing that we could sleep in more. Nope, just a great, high energy start to the day!

After arriving at work, and taking care of some minor issues, my amazing day continued as I started into a server upgrade. It felt really good to be back in the role of a sysadmin, even if it is just a short term project. I have really missed this kind of work, and I am extremely thankful that I have been given this task to work on. The upgrade work was engaging, fun, and helped the day to pass quite quickly. I was almost sad to see the end of the work day.

In the middle of my work day, my wife and I decided to meet for lunch at a favorite buffet here in town. It was nice to be able to go out and have lunch with her without the kids interrupting the conversation, or even the silence. I will admit, I probably ate way too much! I just about had to roll out of the restaurant. I felt good though. I had a great lunch, and had a chance to spend some quality time with my wife.

After work, the day continued to improve, as myself, my wife, and kids were treated to dinner by a really good friend who was in town for a couple of days. The fact that she chose to spend that time with us, when I know she had a lot of work to do, really meant a lot to us. We had a chance to catch up and have a few laughs. Thank you! We all had a wonderful time!

So, here I am, at the end of my day. A day that I am thankful that the Lord has provided for me. I'm still feeling really good about the day. I had a great start, a chance to be a sysadmin again, ate way, way too much food, and had a wonderful time with family and friends. All in all, it was just one of those perfect days that you can treasure for years to come.
