Yesterday wasn’t a BAD day–I don’t have those, subscribing, as I do, to the philosophy that if I can open my eyes in the morning and get out of bed, it’s a good day. 
It would be more apt to say that yesterday was an inconvenient day. Murphy’s Law, run amok–if anything could go wrong, it did. Small things, granted–but those are very the things that drive me crazy. For instance, I was writing away, and my computer decided to do this totally weird thing, and solving the problem (thank you, Rachel Burchot at Harlequin) took precious time. Things spilled, broke or went missing. By supper time, I was frazzled–had my heat-and-eat meal and turned in early, with a book. (At least books always work, and you don’t have to shut them off on airplanes for take off and landing. But I digress.)
Today is a new day, and I shall be rejoice and be glad in it. Even if a lot of pesky stuff happens.
The hot weather broke in the night, and I awakened with a Yorkie practically standing on my head, due to loud rolls of thunder and flashes of lightning. I told her the angels were bowling–league day, no doubt–but she wasn’t buying it. She stuck to me like a bad reputation throughout the early-morning routine (coffee, the Daily Audio Bible, cats in, cats out), but finally calmed down. As I write this, she’s on a barn jaunt with Jenni, her favorite thing to do.
Anyway, the rain is a blessing, as usual. The house is cozy and I have a book to write.
Life is good.
Be kind to someone, human or animal. You might make all the difference in the world without ever knowing you did anything at all.

Wow, you hit it right on the head! I was driving back to Seattle from Clear Lake, California on Sunday night/Monday morning and was so sick of driving I wanted to stop the car and sleep right there, and I spotted a sign, tacked to a tree, saying “Trust Jesus.” How totally simple! Did THAT calm me down? You better believe it! Thank you for sharing your perky attitude; you, too, probably have no idea how important your blogs are to some people! Cheers! Hilda

Love the thought about the angels were bowling. I haven’t heard that since I was a kid and we were afraid of the noise. We were told the angels had flash lights when it was lightning. Glad to hear all is well.

I got a little chuckle out of your pup practically on your head…this happens to me every time it thunders in the middle of the night, as my dog is beyond tore up with storms…it’s sad to see her this way, but at the same time a little bit of a pain for this “mamma”! I sure do love this dog…why else would I go through her sitting on my head if I didn’t! Enjoy reading your blogs…I have just started reading about Hutch and Kendra!

Hi Linda,
Tried to post this yesterday but Ipad didn’t cooperate.
I wanted to let you know that your pup may benefit from a Thundershirt. I bought one for my dog and she doesn’t pant like crazy during the storms it comforts her, she may still want to be near me but it isn’t the frantic panting etc that they can work themselves up to. Heck I wouldn’t mind one for me..LOL
You can google where to buy I got mine from PetFlow.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for giving me hours of great reading,
Betsy
