Daffodils

This morning's walk yielded these lovely daffys. I love spring yellow.  And spring flowers.  And spring showers.  And pretty much everything spring.

At the store the other day I had a list, kind of a long list for me.  I guess that's what happens when you avoid going to the store until it's absolutely necessary.  One of the items on my list was a "maybe" item.  It wasn't something we desperately needed, just something I thought maybe I should re-supply.  And it wasn't costly - only $.97.  Still, I dithered about whether or not to get it.  Don't need it.  Just get it.  It isn't totally necessary.  Just get it, it's only a dollar.  Back and forth I went for several minutes until I finally got annoyed with my internal argument and just tossed it in the cart.  At home, it went straight into a drawer.

This morning's conversation with a loved one revealed just the perfect opportunity to use that $.97 purchase. Not absolutely necessary, but surely made the execution of her responsibility easier.  Out of the drawer came the item.  It'll be so nice (and even cute) for her to use.  So grateful that I erred on the side of "being prepared (should the need arise)".  

I want to think this is one of those rare instances when I listened to that little angel that always sits on my shoulder but rarely speaks to me.  Or maybe if I stretch it I can consider this a way in which Heavenly Father lets me know I can be of help to someone - I actually followed through (albeit reluctantly) with a minor - almost imperceptible - prompting.  I wish I had more of those, and ones that come with a bit more strength so they're easier to detect.   And while this one wasn't anything super important, I am so happy to be able to help someone, regardless of how it comes about.

So grateful today that I could.
