Appreciating the Unexpected

Yesterday, when our neighbor's backyard burning filled our house with smoke, we had a choice to make. We could be upset, or we could enjoy the the opportunity we had been given. 

Decision made; I yelled to my husband, "Quick, grab a lunch, and we'll head out." Our unexpected outing gave us a lovely afternoon complete with a picnic lunch and bike riding. Once again, we saw that things don't have to go the way we planned to be some of our best times.
