gratitude

• lovely lunches with my brothers and sisters on a Sunday afternoon
• sunshine streaming through the windows
• little boys playing in the yard
• watching the grass come alive, so green
• babies who sleep and quiet nights with my love at the end of long day
• fresh out of bedhead babies, silly silly
• sweet morning smiles
• a hard-working husband who loves God and his family
• A God who lives and saves and loves and leads and is.

• ability to trust your heart
• dark chocolate with sea salt
• meaning and purpose
• two year olds who still want to hold your hand

• the privilege of being a mommy, even when it’s hard
• cultivating a happy, healthy, functional marriage and family
• the last bit if ice melting from the lake, glory!
• dreams, plans, ideas, inspiration
• the combination of eggs and hummus, a revelation
• Saturday afternoons with my sister baking, good cheese, pastries and French music
• the gift of today
