Inspired by Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts, I am making a list of 1000 things I am thankful for. Everyday miracles, gifts from above. Here is my continuing journey:
232. Wild goofy sweaty heart-pounding dancing to oldies with the kids
233. paper airplanes with the boys and the wonder of making flight from folding
234. roasted garlic
235. antibiotics for sick children
236. son wearing floppy bike helmet
237. peonies in bloom
238. day at the flea market and appreciation of hard labor
239. planting vegetable garden
240. night out with husband at mexican restaurant
241. 2 hour nap
242. son bringing me wild flower
243. watching bunnies out the window with daughter
244. daughter eating her first taco!
245. cooking with fresh garden herbs by the handful, fingers lingering fragrant aroma
246. smell of summer in the air
247. summer veggies on the grill
248. homemade honey butter
249. back pain healing
250. new friendships
251. the happy homey mess that comes from baking
252. the renewed optimism and hope of a new day
253. warm, kind encouraging words from woman at church when I needed them most
254. first nectarines of summer
255. beautiful sincere simple love letter from husband
256. bright red bug against bright green leaf
...more to come
