Thirty Things I’m Thankful For – part 2 of 3
- Today – dinner with not one but two wonderful, fun, and crazy families. A family walk outside on a crisp and sunny day, watching loved ones dote on Evy, being inside houses bursting with loved ones, catching up, sharing abundant meals, and getting down with toddler-led dance parties – it was a wonderful day.
- Tomorrow – another family day of home improvements, snuggles on the couch, walks, and maybe – just maybe – venturing out in public.
- Health – mine and my family’s. Things can change so quickly. I’m thankful that we are all able to fully enjoy each day as it comes.
- Carmex and Crabtree & Evelyn lotion for dry dry winter lips and skin.
- Wine and beer!
- Evy’s laugh. Evy’s hugs. Evy’s kisses. Evy’s songs. I could go on. Obviously.
- The opportunity to watch my friends find love, grow families, and create happiness.
- The internet for helping me stay connected with faraway friends, reconnecting me with old friends, introducing me to new friends, giving me a place to write, blogs that support/entertain/inform/are ridiculous, providing a way to share photos and stories between friends and family, and giving us all the gift that is awkwardfamilyphotos.com.
- Family – today made me especially grateful for the family I was born into and the family I married into. I feel undeservingly lucky to be surrounded by their love and warmth. Watching our child beam (and dance) amid that love is a dream I’ve had for a long time.
- All of it. I am full up with gratitude for this life. Thank you, universe.
It's Loverly 
Wine and beer. 😉
