thankful list

It is another day that I need to focus on being grateful for the little things... so you have to endure.

  • growing gardens full to overflowing with green beans
  • children to pick said beans
  • zucchini
  • lovely happy music (I just discovered the Ingrid Michaelson station on Pandora)
  • a house full of laughing children
  • the quiet when they all go outside, finally
  • soft rainy, breezy day
  • sleeping three year olds....
  • a functioning washing machine
  • clothes that need to be dried, even if the dryer is being difficult.
  • dishes that need to be washed, even without a working dishwasher
  • clean water to wash things and people
  • grateful for mother who taught me to do things and take care of myself and others

Hope you are enjoying your monday

I second that entire list...except we don't have beans, we have cucumbers. :) (Ingrid makes life happy, huh??)

Thanks Katie! Babysitting the last 10 days really helped me appreciate my daughters and daughters-in-law and the wonderful way they are raising their precious children. Keep being thankful! Love, Mom

It's those little things that make life grand. Shannon wishes she could go outside and play with her cousins. Her mom won't let her go out by herself!
