A Month of Gratefulness

My life is beautiful. It really is. I forget it all too often because I'm tired or frustrated or am being clobbered by hindsight. Someone I adore told me to write down things I'm grateful for each night during this month. 

I need to catch up. Before she punches me. And she will. 

June 1 - grateful for a peaceful, calm time with my parents. My dad's relaxed joy where usually things are a little nuts. Sam playing incredibly at his last t-ball game - so proud of his big hit and great teamwork. Getting to spontaneously go on a sushi date while Karen watched the kids. 

June 2 - The kids sang in church - so precious! Church BBQ - fun to talk to people, further friendships and watch The kids have so much fun in the water. Jealous I'm too old to acceptably run around in a swimsuit. Great leadership meeting at RS. New beginnings, best people we've ever had. 

June 3 - Got to take a NAP! :) New RS sign-ups, summer classes began. Awesome new teachers and the return of some favorites. Loved seeing the new younger girls who came in all wide-eyed and excited for singing class. 

June 4 - Chinese food for lunch (fave!!) and got the house to cleanish status. Got to bake with my sweet Sam. Was reminded that there are people who will fight for me and want me to be happy. Ended the day cracking up laughing with great people that I didn't even know existed a year ago. 

Just thankful <3 even in the depths....thankful.
