With five children, I am a HUGE advocate for shopping at
Aldi. They have everything you need, it’s cheap and it’s a small enough store
you can zip in & out quickly. However, today I needed something
specifically from the grocery store 2 blocks from my house. Besides the few
items, here is what else I walked away with:
1. I love that the man behind the deli counter knows my
exact order even before I order it (yes, I get the same thing every single week; we refuse to live without their homemade salsa everyday & guacamole on the weekends!).
2. I love that the item on the top of my list of things to
buy was on sale! Yeah!
3. I love that the lady checking out in front of me was able to come in to shop for ONE item and actually leave with only ONE
item. Wow. Impressive!
4. I love that the cashier always asks me how my children are doing.
5. I love that it is a place where I always bump in to other
families with kids that go to the same schools as my kids.
Life is complicated. Life is messy. Life is really busy. But
maybe not everything needs to be so difficult. Celebrating one simple joy of today: a pleasant,
family owned/run store so close to our house!
A question for you: what is a simple joy in the middle of your own hectic life? I would love to hear about it!
