Thankfulness Lately

The house is piled with boxes and the stress of moving is creeping in. So I thought it would be a good time to take a breath, look around, and give thanks for tiny glimpses of heaven.

For parents who go above and beyond, and for help from tiny…

Thankfulness Lately

Lately I’ve been thankful for… Simple snacks. Dreaming of a home with chickens. Impromptu scavenger hunts. Gluten-free cones at Frost. Socks that give me confidence to race. Catching up with an old friend by running 3 miles through the mud. Making new friends by holding hands and getting bruised together. Nourishing colors straight from our garden. Backyard casting practice. New-to-me treasures from the consignment shop (and a little hand trying…
