Many people love shopping. Touching the soft clothes as you walk by.  Seeing what’s on sale in the center aisles or the front of the store. I like shopping too sometimes, but this year especially I am ever so grateful for online shopping.

It has given small businesses an opportunity for growth and expansion. It makes it easier for many people of all ages to gain access to most things. It makes many jobs for people of all backgrounds.

Today, I am especially grateful for quick shipping right to my door. Cold medicine is out of stock almost everywhere including online. Luckily I found some off brand medicine that arrived just when needed!

As I walked down the driveway, I was accompanied by my dogs, Pippin and Bandit. The goats joined me too; well as much as they could in their pen. They like being included too. The welcomed breeze was cold on my arms and face. I grabbed the packages that I was ever so grateful to have delivered.

On the way back to the house I looked up into the sky. It was a very clear sky, no clouds in sight. Pitch black with stars so bright. There are so many constellations to observe and enjoy.

I called the dogs to come back and join me as we headed for the house. Pippin had gone to join our black cat, Venture. Even my kitty had wandered down with me. I felt so much love just in that short walk.
