May 21

Ice maker ice maker ice maker.

Ever have one of those days that's just an overall bummer, save a few blessings mercifully thrown in by the Father to spare your sanity? Today was one of Those Days for me.

So tonight I'm especially grateful for the two unexpected I's that made it a less less awful: ice maker and Isabelle.

See, my pellet ice maker stopped working a few days ago. I cleaned its sensors several times, checked the connections to the water chamber, and turned it off and on (and off and on), but no dice. So I resigned myself to a longer term pellet ice shortage. But then this morning, said ice maker spontaneously started producing. And I love my ice so I was thrilled to be able to indulge in a cup of crunchy, chilly glory.

The second sanity-saving "I" was Isabelle, who I bumped into at Costco. We've been friends for a long while now --her older son is the same age is Abby-- and back when the kiddos were very young, we'd hang out at the park while they played. I don't see her often at all these days but when I do, it's always comfortable and familiar and just plain good. 

So for the two big I's that unexpectedly made today less lame, I am so thankful.
