Today was a rather ordinary day, but full of little blessings here and there. =)   

1. No classes.  I don't have any classes on Thursdays anyway, so it is a welcome break from the routine of going to bed early, getting up early, driving, etc.

2. Mass.  I was able to get to Mass this morning, which is the perfect way to begin the day.  Thank you, Jesus!

3. Almost no homework.  Okay, there are things I technically could work on, but nothing that immediately needed done, so the day was relaxing in that respect.  

4. Books.  I went to the library and got some new books, like five new books.  I don't know why, because with finals week approaching, I don't know if I will have time to read them!  But it's a comfort to have books to read if I do have time.  

5. Outing in the park.  I went to my little sister's soccer practice and walked the dog with my mom.  There was a little boy there who came over to see my dog and he ended up staying by us for the rest of the practice and just talking away.  He seemed like quite a little animal-lover.  Anyway, it made me smile as he proceeded to tell me about polar bears, dolphins, sharks, groundhogs, and his own pets.  Maybe someday he'll be a zoologist.  It was really cute. =) 

It's amazing how wonderful a day feels when everything seems to come out right.  Praise the Lord!
