It’s 2:45 a.m. and I’m awake – so very awake. This happens frequently when SB is out of town and let’s just say I’ll be glad when he gets home so I can go back to nights of peaceful, easy feelings. You know the kind of feelings like resting your head on a cool pillow. Drifting off to sleep and you twitch a little bit but then go immediately into a deeper sleep. Or waking up at 12:30 a.m., looking at the clock, thinking it must be time to get up soon and realizing you have several more hours of sleep.
I long for those times again. But that’s not why I’m writing.
So I’ve been thinking HARD this week (scary, I know). But I thought I’d wrap up the week with a few things that have impacted me in the last seven days – things I’m most thankful for. Because it’s always better to dwell well in the spirit of blessings.
1. The blessing of closed doors. I’m waiting on a window to open now, which causes me to look Up.
2. Discovering new music.
3. Grand and Lori Belle and their words of encouragement.
4. Finding out my book has touched another life.
5. A Butterball turkey.
6. The wind.
7. Wet kisses and warm snuggles from Sadie and Lily.
8. Freedom.
9. The Word of God and the Truth it brings.
10. My health.
11. A kind note.
12. The opportunity to lay low for awhile.
13. Sitting down at the piano and remembering what it’s like to play.
14. A Chai Tea Latte. (not sure if Chai tea is decaffeinated, so I have to drink these in moderation, but I’d recommend you RUN to your favorite coffee shop to try this). It’s made my whole week.
So what are you most thankful for? It’s the simple things in life that matter most. So share if you wish. You might encourage someone else to focus on life through a telescope rather than a microscope.
