thankful!  day one.

11/1/2017

 
hey!  so, in efforts to squeeze every ounce of beauty out of my days where it is often overlooked, and to acknowledge Jesus where i otherwise might miss Him, i decided i'm going to make a list of things i am thankful for every day this month.  i did this november of my junior year of college and it meant a lot to me.  beautiful to me is the thought that these lists will look drastically different from each other (hard to believe it's been three years since last time i did this!), but still the same sweet Father loving me.
  
so, here goes!  i am thankful, today, for:
the hour of 'prep' time i got this morning as part of my transition to becoming a lead therapist!  made me feel like one of the cool kids as i sat at my desk and entered in data (:
the sweater i wore today with the pumpkins and cow and sun and rooster and barn on it. (because, if you have a sweater like that, november first is the day to wear it, am i right?!)
the stinker kiddo who was actually way easier to work with today than usual.
sarah and vic at lunch.  vic's already my dear friend, but sarah feels like a friend too.  i like them so much and i love talking to them.
the snowglobe my work became during the middle of the day. (say what you will about the snow and i will probably agree with you if you're not a huge fan right now, but it is really beautiful sometimes and makes me feel cozy.)
the kiddo i worked with at the end of the day who i got to giggle and look at me a lot and he never looks at me!  felt like i climbed a hill to build some sweet report.
those diva high school girls whom i love so much i can't stand it and riding in a car with them to a service project tonight.. watching them love each other and love some folks with disabilities while we played bingo.  being in their lives.  feeling loved because they seem to care about what i say.  did i already say i love them so much i can't stand it?
for being convicted of ways i am not like Jesus and need to grow and need His help.
when i can hear alyssa from her closed bedroom door praying.  (don't worry, i'm not a creeper eavesdropper!)  i just know she's praying and it's beautiful.
my bed.  my glorious, cozy, haven of a bed!  i can't wait to sleep!

all is gift.
