in gratitude for


  • an early morning playdate with puppies 
  • two boys' digging deep into a sandbox and their rekindled friendship 
  • a meeting with an old school, straight shooting, high school coach
  • God's unending love for his children
  • stopping to turn around and hold a broken one 
  • three days on the calendar for next week with my son's bff 
  • the way his new sister makes him so happy and different- fulfilled
  • google translate
  • having her beside me in the kitchen
  • teaching her to cook 
  • fresh baby lemon-basil clippings for our stuffed manicotti 
  • an early home husband
  • pandora's paraguayan radio stations
  • dim lit dinner for a family of four
  • first pickles
  • sugar cookies stacked with double berry cheesecake ice cream
  • the beautiful hum of my maid servants; dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer
  • pink and cream roses piled high from the weekend welcoming
  • school things right around the corner
  • the changing of life, into the unknown
  • waiting for the unexpected
  • knowing it will be grand again
  • something i've never seen before
