So grateful for:

watching the deer leap across the lawn in the early morning

a firstborn sitting at our table this week

able hands in the kitchen

a husband who is keenly aware of when I need to be done in the kitchen (and organizes a clean up crew)

loved ones who shared this day with our far away children

calls and texts just to say "you are loved"

full bellies, full hearts

"When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude." GK Chesterton
