Overwelming gratitude

Today I'm so thankful for what I have and the things I've been given. God's blessings are so evident.

Fall is my favorite season and because of years of school and teaching it reminds me to take stock of all I have, organize anew and prepare for the year.  It is more motivating to me than New Year's or Spring cleaning. :)

I love my town: small streets, each with a sidewalk with fall leaves floating down from the trees above.  love!

My kid's sweet teachers: helping me to raise them giving me sweet reprieve and a time for renewing.
 
My home and all that fills it:  No nonsense things that never go out of style like cast iron frying pans and old fashioned arm chairs I found and fixed up.

My dear children:  I love checking on them at night; seeing their beautiful angel faces and having that sweet time to pray for them and remember that everything is going to be OK, no matter how hard the day may have been.

 My sweet husband: and his patience for me.  That guy knows me and all my crap, and still loves me, how can it be?

New blogs to start again fresh.  I hope to be an encouragement here to love what you have, live how you need to and realize that not "everyone is doing it" and that the "Jones'" don't matter. 

A joyous day to you!
