In all the busyness, my gratitude journal has been sorely neglected. It might even have gathered dust. Which, y'know. . . is just a total surprise in this house. Dust? Here? Psha.
Anyway.
Today I thought I'd get back on track with small summer thanks. (Or late-spring thanks, for you persnickety folks.) Giving big thanks for small things today:
Time with family.
Time with family.
Is there a better way to say that? I don't think so.
I love that as I've gotten older, my family has expanded. Not that I haven't lost loved ones -- but I'm thankful today for those we've gained.
(And really, is family ever lost? Don't I see my Nenaw in the spunk of this Princess Girl?)
3) Petting zoos. And...

Small summer thanks is a big thing. Finally thinking about it now, I'm so full I could write a book.
How about you, friend? Have you been so busy lately you've forgotten to look around?
Waiting for perfection makes us blind to these gifts.
So instead of demanding perfect, how about if we're just --
Imperfectly thankful?

Sweet! I love what you said about your Nenaw - in your sweet girl - precious!

Thanks so much, Lib. My Nenaw passed away about four months before Princess was born, and though I don't believe in reincarnation - genetics are definitely at play here!! Thanks for stopping by. Blessings to you. :)
