(taken Thanksgiving 2009, at my parents' house)
An exercise in thankfulness and contentment. Turning the frown upside down. Seeing the beauty.
Today I am thankful:
...for the excessive heat
- because it helps me to 'love' my home more when we are stuck indoors.
- its easy on the budget.
- because the morning light is especially beautiful, peacefully waking us up.
- because it makes me drink more water.
- butter pecan ice cream. Nuff said.
- because I dread the cold more than the heat, so I'll soak it up.
...that we don't own a washer or dryer
- because its a nice excuse to see the in laws.
- because my sweet mother-in-law and sister-in-law help me with inordinate amounts of burp-cloth washing.
- because ironing is NOT my favorite chore.
- because my clothes smell like the country air.
...that we live in a smaller space
- there is less to clean, and frankly, this is all I can handle right now. :)
- because it simplifies things, and helps us 'dare to dump' as my Momma would say.
- because its really all we need right now.
- because it keeps all three of us close, all the time.
"I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever."
Psalm 86:12
