Thursday Thought of the Day ~ What If?

Image
If you are like me, I see all kinds of hypothetical pictures or memes meant to make us think, encourage, or help us be more thankful, or even provoke some emotions (good and bad). I may even have shared some of these questions, as sometimes they do help us see things in a different way, help us examine things we may not have done before. But sometimes, they do get tiresome.

It was a small gift I received recently that changed my whole day. About a week and a half ago, a dear friend , whom I 'met' online first and then have only had the pleasure once to see in person, sent me a little something in the mail. It is an arm band to house your MP3 player while you run.  She made it for me, she wanted to try a new pattern. I was happy to be the guinea pig really, because when I don't have on my new running pants with the pockets for such things, I have to hold my mp3 player in my hand. Along with my phone, and the leash, this is really annoying.  I got it in the mail, and sadly it sat for a few days untried. Then she sent me a note asking about it. She noted how she sent it for ...
