Today I am thankful for Vera. She passed away last week and today she will be put to rest. V is the kind of person who makes me a better person because I knew her. She touched my life in ways that I can't describe in words. Maybe you've had a friend like that.

To live in a country where my son can go to have an operation today and it does not cost me anything *so thankful for this*
For little A as he left with his Daddy, I just tried to be in the moment with him-- as I know everything will be okay, but he is just so little and I just want him to be well.
For a few moments to my self while baby sleeps...

That ice cream can motivate my kids to want to drive around to garage sales with me
For our new garden plot
that there are borders around it
and strawberry plants(!)
For soccer saturdays and little ones who are so amazing at their age!
For maybe an opportunity to find a place to call home...
For J, my son, who is the oldest and so very creative and articulate.
And J, J, and J who helped plant the garden today, and J who supervised. Oh, you are and were so cute today.
A library card
Some peace tonight. (Even though it is midnight)
Good friends like A and H.

A ride with my dear brother
A sweet little one who was so thoughtful and patient while I tried on some clothes
Our family pool pass and the sweet feeling gained from swimming
Watching the boys jump off the high diving board--and again, and again!
A puppet theater we found at a second hand store
My doggie, Sam
Life in our little home, we have just enough

I'm thankful for....
*Our new pool pass*
Relaxing in the pool today with hardly anyone there except us!
A family being defined as 7 people at the Rec Center, saving us TONS on our family pool pass
Baby being able to walk by himself at the pool today
Knowing that things will probably be okay--it's been a rough 6 months or so...
Getting a email saying my dream place to work wants to meet with me : )
Sun shining
Not living anywhere else but right here
Having Enough
A bike ride with a little trailer and two little ones sleeping soundly---and a dog who likes to chase trailers but does not like to bite :)
Missing my oldest, JCT, who is camping tonight, I am so grateful for him and all that he gives to my life.
A few minutes to think about the things I am grateful for, how about you?
