July 14, 2010 – Random

Floors

Beams

Dirt

Chain Saws

……………………………………….

In the midst of a home renovation, these are the things I’m finding myself grateful for today. Silly, perhaps… who’d have thought I could have gotten so excited about a steel beam? This gives new thought to a roof over your head and your feet on the ground.

I’m grateful for it all… coming together, moving forward, and getting done. These men, working so hard on my home, using their talents and having such pride in their work.

I’m thankful of it all and taking notice of it today.

July 13, 2010 – Patience

Today I am so glad that through all of the madness going on around me, the kids and I had a wonderful day. No tempers, no screaming, no whiny, no wanting to pull my hair out … overall, just good times. I wrote, they laughed, we played bingo, I shopped, they ran along, they colored, we read books… all. day. long.

As we got home tonight after running some errands, my daughter happily told me that our day was quite the adventure… full of rain, sunshine, (we got caught in a big storm), ups, downs, and all around fun!

I’ll take it.

July 12, 2010 – Fancy Feet

Today I am so appreciative of these beautiful little fancy feet.

My hope is that little heart of mine who wears them always remembers to be strong, to be kind and always knows how super cool and special she is.

July 11, 2010 – Health

So grateful today for health.

It’s been a long year. And it’s been a long week.

If I’ve learned nothing else, it’s at the end of the day if you have your health, if your family is healthy… then nothing else matters at all.

I have that today. I am absolutely beyond grateful. The rest is nothing more than dust that needs to settle. Literally in some forms. And I will be perfectly okay with that.
