today, I am grateful to see the goodness in people; for sweet, colourful pictures drawn by Reese; for teenage behaviour of talking on the phone, giggles and hushed conversations; for the protectiveness of grandparents; and for an impromptu birthday party for the neighbour boy.

9/1/2012

today, I am grateful for my eldest daughter, Mak, that bestowed the title of mommy on me 13 years ago; to be able to honour her request of spudnuts...with a little Dutch Brothers...for breakfast; that my in-laws randomly take the girls out for breakfast...I know they will remember that when they are older; for a full day with just my mother-in-law and Mak...it's been a long time since we've done that! and for almost a year of journaling my gratefulness - recognizing my blessings on a daily basis makes me understand how truly rich and blessed I am. thank you, Lord, for all you have provided to me.
