One Thousand Gifts (part 13)



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
