SPARKLES, TWIRLS & HAPPY ENDINGS

My littlest princess turned six this weekend, so I took her to the mall to pick out a party dress. It's a tradition I have with my girls. Every year for their birthday they get to go shopping for one special outfit of their own choosing -- whatever that outfit might be -- without me doing too much putting in my own opinion about colors and styles. After twelve different dresses, she picked a silver sparkling done one that makes her look like a snowflake. (Last year, my eldest daughter picked herself out a pair of track pants and a t-shirt. Not quite my definition of a party outfit, but hey she was happy with it.)  We also got snow pants, which is wonderful because the skies then went and dumped several inches of snow on us last night.
While I was there, I got talking to a woman who was reading a copy of 
Texas K-9 Unit Christmas by Shirlee McCoy and Terri Reed. We got talking. She told me she loved reading Love Inspired novels because while the world is sad and hard sometimes, she knows no matter how rough things get for the characters there's always going to be a happy ending. That totally made my day!

Today, there's a pile of laundry beside me, and a list of jobs on my plate a mile long -- including figuring out how to give the two amazing characters in my next book the happy ending they deserve. But, first I'm taking a moment to pause and be grateful, for happy kids, and heavy snowfalls, and random conversations.
