thanks.

  • ship holidays - 2 Saturdays!
  • the opportunity to hurt with those who hurt...to weep with those who weep
  • making snow (we officially had snow in africa)
  • playing on the dock
  • sweet winnie-the-pooh pictures that reminds me of a middle school friend
  • alarm clocks (set it and forget it)
  • sweet letter from miss caitlin carr
  • caroline & anna's "club show"
  • read 1/2 a book today (what a saturday!)
  • stephanie buchanan's generosity (and willingness to be here at 6:10 each morning)
  • sweet time with suzanne
  • the kids' discovery of "youcam" and the pictures they've produced (not sure where caroline saved hers...)

  • waking up in the middle of the night & knowing that i get to sleep a few more hours
  • freedom.
  • excellent timing.
  • making rice krispy treats with my girls
  • tracey's willingness to keep emma so that the walk to the orange store was a bit easier
  • "My Spirit who lives within you helps you to think My thoughts." - jesus calling
  • encouraging words from shelley
  • the moments when peace settles  in (and when the words in jesus calling are close to identical to things i just wrote in my journal...)
