Thirty One

Today, I am 31.

31 things I am grateful for. Hot coffee, sleeping kids, silence. Running shoes, jogging stroller,  cooler morning air. Cake, lots of cake.  Family, friends, phone calls.  Comfort, inspiration, nature, laughter. Curly hair, my favorite jeans, flip flops. Criticism so I know how to do better. Compliments for encouragement.  Fruit in my yard. A beach to walk on. A clean kitchen and a messy living room reflecting that we *live* here. Time to read a good deep book or a light magazine. My amazing hubby. Quiet. Calm. Chaos. Noise.  Color.  You.

I hope you feel special today and find the time and space to reflect on all that is around to be grateful for.

    Happy Birthday, Emily!

    One of my daughters (4 years old) calls curly hair “circle hair.” :) I’m thankful for sweet things children say.
