Last week/weekend left me feeling very blessed for the little things in life. The little things that leave you comfortable, healthy, and often times I take for granted. I remember soaking in the tub and trying to make my achy chills go away and all I could think about were the people in Haiti. Who don't have the luxury of even making a glass of water to drink...much less soaking away sickness in a tub full of bubbles and hot water. So anyway...there are some simpler things that made my list this week...but it was a great way to be reminded of what I truly am thankful for each and everyday.
Edy's Fruit Bars
Tylenol Severe Cold Day and Night
The Devil's Wear Prada on DVD
Health insurance
Running water
Clean Laundry
Patience
Seeing sunshine
Joining Facebook
My Mom and her huge heart.
Moms and their amazing ability to know just what you need...even when you don't!
Suprise Olga's for dinner...thank you Stacey :)
Little boy's laughter filling my house.
Owen showing ME how to clap
Talking to my Aunt Jenni on the phone
A thank you kiss from Jer for helping take care of him and his injured knee
That Jer's knee injuring from baskteball wasn't near as bad as it could have been...just ice and Advil and rest!
Energy and motivation to do what needed to be done around home.
Appreciating all that Jer does around the house when he isn't wearing a knee brace ;)
Working out and a workout routine with my best friend. YAY!
A wonderfully self-indulged jump into the tanning bed. So nice.
Reading quotes from The Hangover and laughing out loud!
The song Jer made up about our insane dog...I laughed so hard I cried.
Wearing jeans, tennis shoes and my Bears Jersery to work
Owen's fantastic mood Thursday morning and how he stretched his arms to me before I left so I could give him one more goodbye hug and kiss.
Thank you God. My cup truly runneth over!
