I'm in awe of how he still runs after me and kisses me like he hasn't kissed me every day for the last 18 years. God knew I needed him.

Day 649
Tonight, I am thankful for these things:
1. For mugs filled with hot tea. The tea is peppermint and tarragon. I always add a generous drop of honey.
2. I am thankful for blank pages on which to write things down. Things that are important. Things that are not so important. Things that one should remember. I am thankful for words. I have always loved writing. My dream is to be a poet, a singer, a writer of beautiful words. My dream is that one day, I will happen upon a little corner bookstore, and I will wander in and see my book sitting on a shelf. With my name and my words.
3. I am thankful that I can dream dreams. I can be someone I wasn't before. It is possible. I can do things I've never done. I can make every day what I want to make it.
4. I am thankful that when I write, I can be raw and real. I can write it like it is. I can say the things that are in my head than need to come out. My mind is jumbled when I don't write.
5. I am thankful for a fun day with my babes and my sister and her babes. We went swimming. We went to two farms. We smelled many things made of lavender.
6. The forest was so lovely today. The sky was so blue, and the sunlight was so bright. I love the way the sun looks in the forest.
7. I am thankful that I had this day with air in my lungs and step in my feet and a beat in my heart. This day was a gift.

The great love of my life.

Day 648
Here are the things that I'm thankful for today:
1. It was absolutely gorgeous outside today. The sky was very blue. The breeze was cool so that it was breezy and comfortable in the shade.
2. The kids and I cleaned seashells.
3. We played outside.
4. Matt cut the grass. I never knew that I loved a freshly cut lawn as much as I do. I never knew that was a thing to enjoy and appreciate.
5. I'm trying to teach Higbee a new trick. I'm trying to teach him to carry in groceries for me. I love having such a smart dog.
6. My babies love to hug me and kiss me and cuddle with me. I don't deserve this lovely life. I don't deserve their sweet love. I don't deserve such happiness. That God gives it to me anyways is a miracle to me. His grace amazes me.
7. I went grocery shopping today by myself. It was fun to be alone and shop without my busy bees.
8. I drove home from the grocery store with the windows all the way down and the music all the way up. I was blasting country music while driving through the country. It was good for my soul.
9. I've been watching a bunch of chick flicks lately, and it feels good.
10. I have the most amazing husband. He loves me more than words can say. No matter what I'm going through, he loves me through it. I've never once doubted his love for me. I'm thankful to call my husband the great love of my life.
