Quiet moments with my love.

October 13, 2017
Day 378

Thankful for music. Thankful that I can sing along to beautiful music with good words.

Thankful that I can lay in bed with my husband. I can kiss him and hug him and touch him anytime I want. Sometimes, I take for granted how special it is that I can lay with the love of my life and hold his hand. I'm thankful for our history. We go back a long way. I'm glad that I've made my home with him.

Thankful that I can still hold my Fennec Fox like a baby. He likes to cuddle in my arms and look up at me with the sweetest smile. I literally cannot wait to celebrate his birthday, but it does makes my heart ache at how the years fly by.

Thankful for Adelyn Bailey. She's my wild girl. She's passionate. She's needy. She's independent. She's big. She's little. She's old. She's young. She's unpredictable. And I love her for all of these reasons.

Thankful for ice cream dates with friends.

Thankful for no school work to do this weekend.

Thankful that I get to shop for fun things tomorrow like party supplies, decorations, ingredients to bake with. Adelyn and Sophia are going to shop with me. It's going to be great fun to make a party with two sweet girls helping me.

Thankful for a phone conversation with my grandma this evening.

Thankful for when Higbee cuddles quietly in bed.

Thankful for quiet moments spent with my love, Matt.

Thankful for two whole days at home with all the great loves of my life.

I am so undeserving of this beautiful life. I have done nothing great to deserve such gifts and miracles to call my own. Sometimes the knowledge that I am so undeserving of countless blessings makes me that much more thankful and grateful and happy and proud. I feel humbled in the presence of so many miracles. This life is lovely. And there isn't a word big enough or sweet enough or complete enough to say how thankful I am.

It was a good day.

Thankful.
