Celebrate Joy

I celebrate the little things.....I celebrate "Thankful Thursday".......Today I am thankful for the little things in life that bring me joy. Beautiful flowers, birds chirping in the morning and tea on the patio. My 7 year old surprising me with a waffle she made herself, in multiple pieces because it stuck to the waffle iron ~ "but it will still taste good". An email from a friend that says "I just love you!" Sitting with my husband, snacking on fast food and watching my favorite reality show...not because he enjoys it, but because he knows I do. The messiness of my home and knowing that means I have a large family to love and care for, and the joy and unconditional love they give me makes up for all of the "work" it takes to maintain this household. Waking up and thinking "how can I be a blessing to those in my life today" and realizing there are WAY to many people that I care about to be able to complete that task for all of them on a daily basis. Being told by a friend, "You have made such a difference in my life, you are a God shot....you came when I needed you most." Old friends, and new friends, and adventures to come. Blessed beyond measure and thankful this morning ♥
