I decided today was going to be an extraordinary day, and it was! It started with coffee, and then I had more coffee, and then I took my mother out for coffee… It was extraordinary!
What really made my day, other than coffee, was a rare opportunity to help out a friend by giving her a break from looking after her son this evening. It’s not often I’m in a position where I can do more than take care of myself and my kids, so it was a treat for me to feel like I was giving back for a change.
Here’s to extraordinary days – and to posting before midnight! Gotta hurry up. Luckily I have all this coffee sloshing around inside me.
Thanks very much to Kelli for our prompt today! If you didn’t catch it, it was “extraordinary”! If you haven’t had a chance yet, please pop over and say hi to her. Here’s her link: https://fortyandfantastique.wordpress.com/about/

Coffee really is extraordinary, and I think helping out is too! Very nice thing that you could do that on your extraordinary day 🙂
P.S. I literally posted my “Jot” with 4 minutes to spare! Yikes!

Extraordinary!
I think it’s lovely when someone offers to help out. I crave that from people in our life.
God knows we are always putting ourselves out to help others!

We do. But in my case, my world is very small and revolves around family. It was nice to extend myself a little. 🙂
Thanks, my dear. 🙂
