Thankful.

Sometimes it's good to stop for a minute, take a step back, and think about all of the good in our lives. I'll be the first to admit that sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of goings and comings, friends and plans and all of that goodness, I forget to take that step back and appreciate it. So right now, as I am sitting here on the couch, watching Hank and Henry play and laugh on our living room floor during Daddy/son time, I thought I would share a short gratitude list, and encourage you to do the same!

Today I am thankful for:

old friends that know you better than anyone

storytime at the library, and watching Henry interact with so many other little ones

the taste of a crisp organic Pink Lady apple, dipped in almond butter

quiet mornings with my baby boy, rocking in the green chair and singing songs

a roof over our head and food in our bellies

finding new blogs to fall in love with

and speaking of food, Greek yogurt with fresh berries. So thankful for that.

four fun weddings to look forward to

a pair of shorts that fit just right
new mama friends and upcoming plans

chilly evenings made for cardigans

the excitement of longtime friends moving up to our small town

being able to say "my boys" and the happy feeling it gives me

successfully pulling myself out of a terrible mood
thirty extra minutes of sleep

that feeling of being exactly where I've always wanted to be

Hank, and every little thing about him

...and Mexican food. Lots of gratitude for Mexican food!
