As I was saying, I hate dealing with the trash and recycle. I am blessed that Jenn takes care of both. Always! I can let the trash pile higher and higher knowing that she will deal with it. And I'm so grateful. This past Sunday as I was driving home from the grocery store, I see some of the neighbors have dragged their cans to the curb for tomorrow's trash pick up. I think to remind Jenn that it's trash day tomorrow and would she please get the cans to the curb before bed tonight... and don't forget the office trash can, it's not been emptied in a while and the upstairs bathrooms. As I park the car, I suddenly I decide to do it myself. I drag the cans to the curb and come inside and gather all the trash and recycling, including the office and the upstairs bathrooms and carry it to the curb.... and what do I see, but the most amazing moon rise. If I hadn't taken out the trash myself, I would have missed this beautiful sight. My camera doesn't do much to capture the sight, but I can't help but keep shooting.
Jenn noticed. "Did you empty the upstairs bathroom trash? Thank you." I guess I've just been remembering how nice it is when someone does one of my "chores" for me.
Lesson learned: Sometimes when we do things we don't want, we unexpectedly get to experience things we would have missed out on.
When have you done for another and gotten/experienced something wonderfully unexpected in return?
we've enjoyed the sight of that big moon, too.
