Gratitude

I'm lifting my heart in thankfulness and finding the gifts - sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden - in each day. Counting my way to 1,000....

35. My husband waking me up with coffee in bed every morning.
36. Our neighborhood street where the kids can ride bikes and skateboards and run free.
37. New books and clothes from my sister-in-law - it's like Christmas!
38. A donation specified specifically for "household help." Yeeehaw!
39. A cooler day today after some really hot ones!
40. my boys, my boys, my boys! I love them so much!
41. Jude's little voice and new words he says each day - so much enthusiasm! I'm particularly enjoying the way he says, "yes." It's so cute!
42. Ezzy's profound statements and prayers continue to amaze me.
43. Kai's kindness and sensitivity.
44. Koa's smiles, giggles and cuteness - his dark hair and blue eyes.

7. Healthy children
8. Fresh coffee to start my day.
9. children quietly playing with leggos.
10. Even though my house is a complete disaster there is hope that today I can tackle the loads of laundry and get things in order.
11. Our portable DVD player broke (we don't have a tv) forcing me to live life without the option of movies to fall back on. This pushes me to be more creative, read more books and engage more with my children.
Here's to a new week! I feel cloudy and foggy from taking Benadryl last night, but this coffee should kick in soon. A new week awaits - another chance to do things well and learn new things. I'm grateful.
