- Completing one study, and anticipating new horizons, new ways to stretch my mind and heart.
- Little girl putting her Papa and me in stitches of laughter at the dinner tables (did you know that, to a toddler, "multitudes" sounds like "toot"?)
- Toothless smiles from an interrupted nap
- Soft blankets and cuddly stuffed animals, a little girl and her best friend, dragged along behind her by the tail
- Book discussions with good friends
- Thrill of seeing a long-drawn-out story nearing completion.
- Seeing that needle on the scale finally, finally drop, slowly but surely
- Phone conversations with family, staying close in heart if not in person
- Fellowship with the Family of Christ, a change in sleep schedule allowing me to attend service.
- Planning a dream trip for (hopefully) next fall ... joy in seeing a long-hoped-for goal nearing reality.
- Sister to help with fashion dilemmas
- Smiles and laughter with my husband, my best friend ... serious conversations breaking into humor with one twist of thought
- Cooler temperatures and sunshine, a blessed combination
- A new week, a fresh start, new chances to see God in the everyday.

I loved your list! I totally know how a little toddler can die laughing over a "toot"...
You made me laugh!
God Bless,

Counting my blessings with you over at Ordinary Inspirations For The Everyday Wife, Mom, & Homemaker
If I had a thankful list, I would also put down a thrill of you finishing up the Meggie story if that is what you are referring to.
And fashion dilemma? That is something I would love seeing you blog about. I care WAY WAY too much about clothes in any context for a Quaker who is trying to be upstanding in her community. It is one of my biggest struggles, but also a huge joy.
I love your list.
Traci--she followed it up with a "Pee-YOO, Papa!" My poor husband was laughing too hard to protest his innocence!
Connie--Yes, I am referring to Meggie's story. Your lovely, lovely Cecilia story is really inspiring me to finish up with this one so I can get on to the next!
I'll probably blog about my fashion issues soon :)
