My 5 Gratefuls List on this peaceful Monday
1. Waking at sunrise to a feeling that autumn is close. No one home but me, Jes and Bella so I turned up the Stones really loud, "Miss You".2. My favorite white linen Sundance shirt was clean. I'm extra happy when I wear it.
3. Three 6 week postpartum visits, three bittersweet good-byes to families that I love so much. Thanks for the hugs, cookies and promises to make another baby for me!
4. My last visit of the day, The Michaelson's. It was late, I was tired and traffic construction was bad. I was met at the door by a little boy who said, "You're just in time for Family Home Evening." And so I was fed, my cup was filled. Five little blond, jammies on kids, mom, dad, grandma and Cody the Cool Dog, singing, learning, loving. AND, after weeks and weeks of never looking at me, baby girl ran to me and let me hold and snuggle. Then baby boy came over. They are both my babies and soon will share their newborn baby sister with me.
5. Arriving home at sundown, dinner waiting and this peaceful office to sit in and savor all things good that filled my day. Can you smell the sweet Mexican Chocolate candle layered over patchouli? Can you hear Augustana "I Still Ain't Over You"?
The show is about to begin . . . I know when the stars are aligned you can

I want to come and live at your house. I will sleep in the basement and eat the crumbs left on your counter tops. You wouldn't even know that I am there.
Love your posts you have a beautiful way of using your words to create peace and comfort.
Auntie "I" - Are you kidding me? No basement or crumbs for you! We would cook fabulous Mexican feasts and listen to The Weezul Bros. Slip on up here ANYTIME!
