Thankful Today

Today....

...I found Cookie Monster {wearing red goulashes} in my pantry.

...watched as "Blue" had a meltdown over breakfast's bowl of "Clifford Cereal". {You'll notice it's on the floor}

...Entertained a pint-sized princess in our living room.
{She would have both bathed and slept in the fur vest if allowed}

...Visited with one of the reasons I stay sane in this season of life,

the source of countless prayers on my behalf.

Her name is Janet and I am grateful to be her granddaughter.

One never knows what {or who!} a day will hold! I am grateful today held such sweet things.

There is rarely an evening where I do not breathe a prayer of thanks that my husband came home safely, that there is food on our dinner table and that my children are healthy and alive.

Any one of these things could change (a fear I must deal with daily-not so much the food part, but the 'alive and well' part) in a heartbeat...although I know I do sometimes, I am careful to not take them for granted.

Please, if you care to, do tell what things you are most grateful for RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. {Don't think it out. Just whatever immediately pops into your head!}

I'll feature one of the responses in my next post...as I get weary of what I have to say!!!

(
I would like to thank Amy for the generous bag of hand-me-downs that included a Cookie Monster and Blue's Clues costumes, a tiara, red fire engine goulashes and Fairy wings. They made this itsy bitty corner of the world that much more exciting and imaginative.)
