Thankful

My last post was true.  Monday was crazy, sucky hard around here.

BUT.

(there’s always a “but”, right?)

Tuesday was better.  Because we all made a choice to make better.  Even the little people around here can make those kinds of choices.

After school the four of us went for a walk in the cool, Fall air and found neighborhood dogs to pet and cats to chase and pretty colored leaves.

And leaves to throw on the each other.

We found laughter and smiles and some simplicity.  Even if just for a little bit.

No matter how our days go, I am so, SO thankful for this family that God has given me.

Some friends on Facebook are writing 30 days of thanks and I have MUCH to be thankful for, but mine would get redundant because I would just put “My Family” every day of this month.

Thankful.

That’s what I am.

p.s. Thank you to my friend Sarah for letting us use her lovely backyard and for taking our family photos! 🙂
