Thankful

Good morning!

This week I was thankful for: 

Day 1:

• Impromptu ice cream parties
• My tribe
• Being able to exercise at work. Although next time I need to remember a towel.

Day 2:

• Packing lists. 
• The Dollar Store and how easy it is to park, grab two kids out of the car, and purchase the wipes I forgot to pack plus a few “necessary” snacks.
• The Disney Pandora station.

Day 3:

• Sunscreen.
• People nice enough to tow our boat to a gas pump and when the gas pump was out of gas go all the way back home to bring gas. 
• Floatation devices.

Day 4:

• FaceTime.
• Cora stopped crying for the last 15 minutes of our drive home. 
• Reuniting with Dan and having family cuddle sessions.

Day 5:

• While eating dinner Ina told me, “Yum, mom, you did a really good job on this chicken.” She has now figured out the way to my heart.  
• Cora is still happy to sit in a stroller that isn’t moving for 30 minutes or so. I know those days are numbered, so I am thankful for them while they last.
• Catching up with high school friends and watching them as moms, even though I still think of them standing by their locker or wearing a basketball jersey.

Day 6:

• Library books. I checked out The Happiness Project and Wild and am excited to read them.
• Eight years of marriage! 
• My phone screen is fixed! I can use it without risking my fingers being stabbed with glass. 

Day 7:

• Corn on the cob. Or as Ina calls it, “corn on ma-cob"
• Bucket lists. 
• Grace and mercy and love and forgiveness.

What are you thankful for?
