I looked out my window & what did I see?
All the leaves...have fallen off the trees!
We are entering my *least* favorite part of the fall season...as we delicately morph into the pre-winter stage of autumn. I suppose I should be thankful that the leaves have clung tightly as long as they have (and some still are holding on with all their mights)...we've definitely had a very slow transition (temperature-wise) thus far. I'm grateful. I see no need to rush any negative Fahrenheit days, do you?
With that grateful heart, I will jump into a pile of thankfulness (imagine a pile of crinkly, dried, colorful leaves)
on this fine Thursday morning:
I'm thankful for...
-cold milk & honey cheerios (my morning & late night snack of choice)
-angel friends who offer to help during long weeks (you know who you are)
-a lunch ALL BY MYSELF. Panera Bread during a rain storm. Perfection!
-the stack of PINK that is building up in my closet
-the healthy, low maintenance pregnancies I have had the privilege to experience thus far (31 wks now!)
-our neighbor's Halloween decorations (the ghost has a big, friendly smile--my kind of ghost!) that make me smile every time I see them
-room in our garage for me to park the car, especially when it's raining cats & dogs (and I've got two little people to unload!)
-lazy mornings (They are THE BEST!)
-inspired ideas
-my super amazing Mr. H (did you know he did all the grocery shopping for me last Saturday? WITH both boys? BY himself?) who pampers me when he is home
-the HOPE of a challenging but successful vbac in just two more months (my OB is the most supportive dr. EVER!)
-spontaneous moments of laughter with my 3 year old
-cuddle-wrestling games with my 1 year old
-feeling my unborn baby wiggle, move, dance, and kick around in my belly
-the very real power of prayer
And you? Any crunchy piles of Thanks today?
