1. A husband that is patient, kind, brilliant and loves me enough to challenge, confront and nudge me when needed. Truly my best friend.
2. Mornings that start with laughter, even if ten minutes later I'm playing referee and judge amidst sibling squabbles.
3. Music that strengthens me and helps me focus.
4. A BFF that emails me to encourage me in the wee hours of the morning despite the fact she's busy with a newborn and 7 other children.
5. Bacon...especially when I didn't have to cook it.
6. Being asked yet again to play a "find and seek" game created by a child that has grown so much these past few years. There was a time we wondered if he'd ever talk or if he'd ever be out of his "own little world". I will play these games with him a million times a day if he asks me to and never take it for granted.
7. A son that goes to the library and comes home with "a book that I thought you'd wanna read"...this time that happens to be Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson.
8. A daughter that says "do you think I could start making a dinner menu and cooking dinner sometimes?"
9. A son that so adores his daddy that he wants to wear his uniforms and go to work with him as often as possible.
10. Picking up my phone and seeing silly pictures taken by a silly 5yr old. I just heard the clicking of my phone camera and his laughter. I turned to see what he was doing and he's taking pictures of the bottom of my shoes. I'm thankful for pictures that give me a glimpse of his perspective on life and that bring him joy.
Happy Thursday, friends! I hope it's a day of finding joy in the little moments and simple things...
like hotwheels all in a row. ;-)
