This month of thanksgiving is all about finding gratitude in the everyday, small moments of my life. I like the challenge of snapping a picture sometime during my day that represents my feelings in that moment. It is so satisfying. Are you doing it, too?
After I sent my kids to school yesterday, and Elliot was taking his morning nap, I looked around my silent house and felt immensely grateful for this quiet little life of mine. I am living the life I always imagined for myself. I realize that this is a great blessing. I am thankful that Mike so willingly carries the burden of providing for our family, so that I can stay home full time. He works hard to create our life, and I am grateful for his sacrifice.
A special bonus gratitude for today: a happy marriage. I posted a little bit of our love story a few weeks ago. Beautiful Senja has posted more here.
