Today I am thankful for cool nights and friends around the fire!
Cool nights always remind me that in everything, God has a plan. He brings the end to the summer, just as He will one day bring the end to winter and both will be at just the right time! Having friends around the fire means so much more to me than just having people over. My life is very segmented and when I find people that I allow to float between the segments, it's great!!!
Here is a look back at the things I was thankful for last year...
Day 1 -
Today I am thankful for beautiful weather, a family that always loves me, and a little boy who "shouldn't be alive""
Day 2-
Today I am thankful that the sty is my eye is nothing serious, for a little boy who got cold in the night and came to check "onto" me, and that my family taught me to enjoy the simple life!
Day 3-
Today I am thankful for the ups and downs in life, lessons learned, and grace that covers us every day.
Day 4-
On day (almost) 4, I am grateful for the family I was given and the family I have chosen, for the people who love Cal whole heartedly despite being no relation, and a sister who is loyal to a fault and who has and will stand by me through anything.
Day 5-
Today I am thankful for my mom who can accept the person without accepting the behavior, who taught me there's more to life than money, and who became a stand in parent for so many kids and made an impact in lives she may never know about with little thanks because she knows her reward is in heaven. I am so blessed to have her!!
Day 6-
Today I am thankful for time well spent...time with my grandmother before she died, time with my uncle Chris in Orange Beach when we both needed a break, and time with Cal as he grows up. Before we know it the people we love most are gone or grown up. I never want to say "I wish I had said..."
Day 7-
