gratitude for a monday on a friday.

today i am so so grateful for clean sheets that wrap you up in the wondrous outside smells of spring, but still keep you warm in the middle of the night when the air is crisp and cool. 

grateful for a sunday morning brunch. life is very busy, sometimes even more so on weekends, so i am so glad when we can take a moment and enjoy, us, as a family, in the middle of all the busy, hectic ways we fill up our lives with on the weekend....

 I am so grateful for nature's art and
for people art. both fill my soul.

 Grateful, oh so grateful for these kooky boys. The youngest who couldn't stop talking one evening and had to demonstrate exactly what his lego contraption would do if it was in real life: rolling on the floor was part of that demonstration. The eldest showing his teenage ways by playing a game on the wii, trying to ignore his mother who is taking, yet another, photograph. Oh sweet middle, love when you are happy and chuckling. 

 I am grateful for lovely benefits that support lovely causes and give me an excuse to dress up a bit, put on lipstick and go out with my husband.  So grateful for an evening filled with beautiful people with beautiful stories; flowers on the tables and lights twinkling in the chandeliers above.

I am so grateful for learning, for growing and a chance to work on it all. Grateful for when my mind opens up and my heart sings and I find better ways to walk on this earth and share in life's fortune and mishaps. Grateful for the chance to sit and reflect on the many ways I am grateful. xxoo

                                                  what are you grateful for this week? I would love to know.

xxoo
