In reality, I could have made it to 1,000 in the space of one day. Here is just a record of a few that stand out from the past week:
that words arranged become art
the way my girl smiles at me
my boy watching football with his dad and me
the Jags beating the Colts, and giving us something fun to celebrate together
walking on top of fallen leaves
the sound of them crunching underfoot
the crisp autumn air
sunny, warm weekend days
the barely there mist as I walked Toby Sunday morning
a good sermon
meeting new people
the victories and frustrations of dog training and knowing we'll figure it out...
hopefully before he kills a certain little doggie he regards as a walking chew toy.
Dusting off my guitar and discovering
My love and me watching our smiling, happy children play
when he talks
that we live in the now
no past, no future, but right now.... right now I...
have Holy Spirit
have a sleeping boy and a snoring puppy
have a husband at work
a girl in the kitchen
a warm cup of coffee
great music playing
a pile of books we will read today
sun in the trees
wet curls clinging to my face
my girl's slippers on my feet
glasses on my face
my favorite jeans
a juvenile long sleeved T-shirt from the kids department, because
I can
Here's a PS:
I have joined the Make your home a haven Fall challenge over at Women Living Well. Check it out.
I always loved crunching leaves underfoot. It used to make me late for school when I was little. :)
ReplyDeletefinally taking a few minutes for the 'net & here i am :)
ReplyDeleteso... i too will be joining you in making our home a haven - wow! it's funny that 'intentionality' keeps popping up for me :}
Go Jags! and that's a double fun celebration for you b/c you're NOT a Peyton fan :^)
hmmm... a good sermon, i count the blessing of yours & mine. so thankful for the Word and those who present it

i felt like i was sitting there, looking up from reading & there was the scene before me:
a girl in the kitchen
a warm cup of coffee
great music playing
a pile of books we will read today
sun in the trees
wet curls clinging to my face
my girl's slippers on my feet
glasses on my face
my favorite jeans
a juvenile long sleeved T-shirt from the kids department, because
I can
