sometimes thursday slips up on me
- that life is lived within our house (i'm trying to be thankful even when things don't stay straight)
- 70% off christmas stuff at target (fun time to buy next year's christmas crafts!)
- "ALL I NEED IS YOU"
- the way emma says "yes, m'am" (well, honestly, the way emma says just about anything - except "mine" and "NO")
- exercising with caroline the other night
- chili.
- bacon.
- laughing with our community group
- cleaning up/organizing the closet in the laundry room
- getting things done that i've wanted to get done for a while (ie, previously mentioned item!)
- getting "paid" for something i LOVE to do and the "payment" being cherry coke!
- the "space" that's created (re-established) by putting Christmas decorations away
- a sweet little boy in texas named gabe.
- my friend carey. i love her.
- "my help and glory are in God - granite strength and safe-harbor God - so trust Him absolutely, people; lay your lives on the line for Him. God is a safe place to be." psalm 62:7-8 (the msg)
- "trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the one who will keep you on track." proverbs 3:5-6 (the msg)
- that i always count the number of "items" on my thankful lists...and i have to be happy with the number before posting them (11, 13, 14, 16, 19 = not usually good numbers....12, 15, 17, 18 (maybe!), 20+ = acceptable numbers)
- the garage at the TA house. what a work of art! the staff did a tremendous number on that thing yesterday.
- the hall's christmas letter. i didn't know tim was so funny!
- worshipping on the treadmill at the Y last night (and nick's willingness to let me go just when i couldn't handle emma's fussing anymore! that girl isn't a big fan of baths right now)
- "my abundance and your emptiness are a perfect match" - jesus calling 12/31/2011
