Lately I’ve been grateful…
For January snow days.
And sunset walks.
For opportunities to try new hobbies.
And fermentation airlocks.
For a midnight cat to sit in my window.
And the fun of wrapping of Hannukah gifts.
For new year’s eve hikes.
And national forests.
And that Not Your Father’s Rootbeer pairs PERFECTLY with Mellow Mushroom pizza.
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.
Lately I’ve been grateful for…
Unplanned Saturday adventures!
Colorful asymmetrical Spring planters.
Opportunities to meet nature up close, and see my brother in his element.
A husband who works hard, studies hard, and plays hard.
For being in the right place at the right time, and for successful dislocated shoulder reductions.
And spicy hot chocolate!
Lately I’ve been grateful for walls to climb.
For summertime memories.
For fresh grown basil and the scent of spicy oregano.
And for this baby cat, who throws a veritable tantrum of happiness whenever I come home from barre class all tired & sweaty.
Unbidden Grace
