Lately I’ve been grateful for a lake to float in.
And skiers to spot.
For family talents.
And brave hearts.
But mostly I’ve been grateful for togetherness, and the blessing of family.

Gratitude lately
Lately I’ve been grateful . . .
. . for small hands holding old cameras.
And for the old-fashioned fun of waiting for “instant” film to develop.
For $6 goodwill dresses, and a sewing machine to re-fashion them.
For new backsplashes.
And for hot summer hikes.
Hope you’re enjoying summer, friends! I’ve been really enjoying our film cameras lately, how have you been capturing your summer memories?

Lately I’ve been grateful for birthday girls.
And for pink birthday cupcakes with sprinkles.
For family photos.
And plaid shirts.
And I’ve been grateful for the Dad of this crew & his trademark mustache. He makes Father’s Day worth celebrating.

Lately I’ve been grateful…
For dances with this amazing life partner.
For a new [birthday] coffee mug, and for a fluffy cat to claim the box it came in.
For birthday cupcakes.
For time to paint.
And for that feeling of joy and thankfulness that comes from knowing that not just one, but two of your brothers have been fortunate enough to find beautiful love stories – and to marry a woman that will love them, cherish them, and care for them, for all their days. May you have many, many first dances, Jeffery and Katie Beth.
