new year, still thankful.

  • having awesome wonderful easy going enjoyable family around for dayz
  • pockets of time to get the things done that must be done (and pockets of grace to let go of the rest)
  • the airbnb balloon making guy -- and the fact that he has done church bus routes for more than 40 years.  he LITERALLY brought thousands of kids to church.  


  • yaya's spaghetti casserole...and how it fed a whole table full of folks
  • talking about bouncy balls and 100 goals and fun memories
  • the right note at the right moment  


  • Sweet Little One is enjoying us so much more this go round
  • my kung fu fighting t-shirt!! 
  • reminders of discipleship and the importance of daily faithfulness/daily decisions



  • giving it another go (i did it once, surely i can do it again)
  • when little ones sleep in (and how anything past about 7:30 is sleeping in!)
  • yup:
  • slugs and bugs show on rightnow media.  
  • ringing in the new year with food and friends and fireworks that didn't hurt anyone
  • fran fluker's advice to CCC to look for things to be thankful for
