Friday!!

 

So...here we go!

1. My favorite month is January because I have less things I have to do.

2. LOVES a fresh breeze.

3. I love to sniff the Hershey's cocoa powder in the cabinet. (shhhhhhh)

4. Cake is what I like to have as a treat for breakfast.

5. The hobby I enjoy most is altering anything I can get my hands on

6. Gossip, oh my!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to BED!!, tomorrow my plans include A Mad Hatter Tea Party (pics to follow) and Sunday, I want to REST!

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for-

• Pain.  Some days, I just have to make it my friend. I have to look right in its eyes and smile, because the JOY of the Lord is my strength and pain can not defeat me.
• Family. They are all crazy, but they're mine, and I fit in here.  
• Friends. Again, all crazy, but they make me smile.
• Giant bars of chocolate. Not an extravagant gift, but I don't need extravagance.  I just LOVE to know someone was thinking of me and remembered something I like.
• Team Epic.  We haven't even had a game and it doesn't matter.  These kids are EPIC to me. I can't even begin to say how much my spirit soars to watch them support each other. 

I am blessed beyond measure.  I haven't figured out if the joy comes from recognizing the beauty of the little things, or if having joy brings little things to bless to me.  I suppose it doesn't really matter since I intend to keep enjoying every little blessing the Father sees fit to give me.
