Thankful Thursday: May 26, 2011

The air is cold & wet outside...

we slept to pelting rains and super fast winds

my favorite.

I find myself, again, prayerful and thinking of those who have lost

homes

and worse...loved ones.

This tornado season has been rough.

I hope you are safe & dry wherever you are

this Thursday morning.

J is wearing cozy pajamas (we keep putting away the winter pjs, only to get them out again on cold nights) and as happy as can be. He loves his footie pjs. I can't blame him. They look very comfortable.

I've got comfy pants on too...it's a morning of coziness in our house...

perfect for reflection & thanks.

I am thankful for:

-Mr. H's safe return (these out of town business trips are becoming more frequent!)

-my singing, energetic boy (making up songs in the morning is a favorite)

-my sleeping, happy baby (he has been sleeping great lately: blessings!)

-friends & family's protection during the storms

-fresh strawberries

-fresh out of the dryer blankets

-fun family time

-the opportunity to meet up with cousins in Chicago on Saturday

-friends who notice a need and step in

-our trip to the zoo with friends

-catching up with favorite friends

-baby giggles

-lazy mornings

-old photos

-fudge brownies

I'm thankful for the men and women who are giving their time and energy to the many relief efforts going on in the midwest & south. I'm thankful for our weekend plans.

I'm thankful for the men & women (& uncounted families at home) who fight, give, & sacrifice--

Happy Memorial Day weekend!
