…since it is the month of November after all… here are some things I love:
- when my love for my husband is so big that I overcome my selfishness and jump up to ask him if he wants tea because he’s been working like a dog on his book. Doesn’t happen all the time, but it does happen sometimes and I think this means I like him a lot.
- when my sister Kate texts me just to say she misses me.
- Kelly Ann’s Music Monday for introducing me to my new favorite song that gives me a lovely, peaceful feeling.
- the fact that we get second chances in this life. That we can be forgiven and have clean slates.
- the ability to talk seriously about my faith with my friends. And that some are grappling with the very same issues that I am. It’s nice to do it together.
- cooking black bean soup when it’s cold outside and all my kids eating it and some even taking seconds.
- my two legs that do what I want them to do when I want them to do it. Lord, I hope I never take them for granted.
- Gracie’s unending love for us no matter what. I hope I can learn to love more like her. Dogs are sometimes the best teachers.
- a warm home with heat I can count on.
- my Mom and Dad for still being in love with one another and for loving me.
- humor, telling jokes, laughing at one another, laughing with one another. Laughter. Period.
- going to the movie theatre. Eating popcorn. Drinking soda.
- looking ahead and planning trips and dreaming dreams with my husband. What’s next?

I love reading these kinds of lists, they make me so happy! Thank you for sharing with us, and brightening my day.
Aw, these are all so wonderful! I love when people randomly let me know they miss me. It makes me feel special (and I usually end up passing the phrase on to someone else entirely). Yay November! xo

i especially like the part about your mom and dad still be in love 🙂
so important.
i want to make a list like this! everyone should. i love it. and whoa, i feel honoured that my name is on here! that really is one of my favourite songs… i listen to it at the end of every workout, it's the best cool down song ever.
i'm thankful for vanilla coffee, my two dogs jack & daisy, my family who is as strong as steel, realizing today that my heart has healed (phew! best feeling of life), and for funny, kind, and gorgeous blog friends like you! <3
What a heart-felt list. I just posted a similar themed post. It's just that time.
What a lovely list. And love the photo too!
Love you and your stinky feet sista!
I'm sitting in the stinky hotel room catching up on some blog reading while Davey naps, and i gotta tell you, I"m so glad I didn't just skim over this post (confession: with my shortage of time, I do that to a lot of blogs I follow), but read the whole thing; I needed to read it and the perspective I got from it was worth more than your blog's weight in gold. Thank you, dear (bloggie) friend! I say your next adventure should be in Oahu so I can meet and get to know you better!
i love love LOVE these!! what a great list…and i too am a sucker for at movie popcorn and soda 😉 thanks for stopping by my blog, i'm just adoring yours so far!
So true. I have moments like these – where we just have to stop and by truly thankful for what God has given us. =)
