I have been thinking a lot about all of the goodness in my life. This weekend has been a wonderful reminder of all that I aim to appreciate every day.
1. A husband who does laundry…
2. And dishes…
3. And thinks I’m beautiful even when I am waddling around in my pajamas
4. My firstborn son who is eager to help out
5. And is healthy
6. And thoughtful
7. My second-born son who is ever empathetic
8. And eager to make you smile
9. And healthy
10. My soon-to-be-born third son who wiggles and kicks
11. A warm, cozy house – especially with the snow and cold we had this week
12. Decorations on my Christmas tree… put up by aforementioned helpful husband and sons
13. A comfy glider chair from a dear friend to rock in while supervising decorating
14. Leftover ziti from Thanksgiving with another dear friend who cooked a separate dish just for me
15. Same friends hostessing a baby shower for baby-to-be offering a chance to reconnect with friends
16. A snowy Thanksgiving
17. Snow days which gave us nearly a full week of family time
18. Wrapped and purchased holiday presents
19. A bag of craft goodies to work on this week with the boys
20. A toasty kitchen from the turkey we roasted today
21. The fact that turkey is not a carbohydrate
22. Holiday music
23. Boys’ homework being almost done
24. Without tears, fuss, or grumbling
25. Free time
26. Comfy maternity jeans
27. A car with all-wheel drive
28. Health insurance
29. My sons’ wonderful teachers
30. The internet that helps us stay connected with family (and friends) far away
And so much more…
