thankful

Everyday. I am always thankful. I walk around feeling blessed for this life. For three healthy children. For a marriage that sparkles and shines. For getting to raise these three kids with laughter and a spirit of adventure and sharing it all with a soulmate that inspires and laughs and encourages and loves in a big way. I pinch myself on this one all the time.

I’m not caught up in the trappings. Perhaps that’s because I have no trappings. I have the basics. A small house and enough firewood to keep it cozy through the winter. Candles and loud music for dancing. Good food simmering. A stash of art supplies...glitter and glue. A lovely local library in a caring community. Friends that make me laugh out loud and keep me thinking. A large family that is both colorful and steady. Mountains and wide open spaces. Good ideas and big dreams.

I can run and sweat and hug and snuggle and create and share and read and learn.

Really?

Wow.

You too?

Aren’t we blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving, All!

You’re on my list for sure.
