thankful.

to be back with this little brussel sprout again.  to hug her and be near her and watch movies with her and laugh with her
for huggin my mama again.
for being taken care of.
for two warm beds in two very dear places.  some people don't even have beds and somehow i have two.  doesn't seem right.
for gretchen.  a car ride home with her and i knew i had encountered the LORD in beautiful ways.  if you're ever one of the fortunate people to have just two minutes with gretchen bye, take them!  oh, stunning soul.  literally thinking the whole car ride "this is what a life looks like when you're in love with God."  not kidding,
for our neighbors, the downing family.  some of the kindest, most generous people you could meet.
for sun in the morning on my sheets.  (you knew it was coming! ;))
for ordinary days, even in boredom, walking around in shops to find gifts and other things with mom and dad.
for my overalls.
to be celebrating eighty years of my grandmother's life with family tomorrow!  that's a lotta livin!
for cory's call, asking for my opinion!
for a fridge to dabble in leftovers and pick at fruit in containers.
for rest.
