11. hard moments, they stretch me to look for the good that's always there if I look hard enough.
12. Snow. No, really, I'm thankful for it. I prefer to stay indoors. I'm not a fan of the cold or of the gazillion layers needed to stay warm. I really dislike the mess and extra work that comes with dirty snow clothes and kids coming in wet. However, the joy it brings to my Jay makes it so worth it. He LOVES the snow. I am thankful for how his delight reminds me to appreciate the beauty in ALL seasons...those of nature and those of my life.
13. Headphones. It has changed my life the past month to be able to stop amidst difficult moments and listen to a song or two (while A) drowning out the cacophony of that resides in my home and B) not adding to my boys sensory troubles playing music they don't tolerate well). I'm able to regroup, refocus and handle stress much better.
14. The kindness and encouragement of others. A sweet card in the mail, an encouraging email, a text at just the right moment.
15. For photographs that make me smile, like this one...
