Blessings on a Blizzard-y May 2nd.

Though today might have seemed bleak, I am resolved to find the JOY in it. What I love about today... I loved watching my kids do the dishes. Yes! And not complaining...even better! I loved seeing my husband leave the house to run his own business. I love living with a happy man :) Even though the heavy spring blizzard had wreaked havoc on my lilacs and other bushes,I may get a chance to plant something new! I am thankful for a warm home to shield us from the cold and a plethora of windows to view the wreckage. I am grateful for bird feeders outside a window that all the children can easily see from. Today, chipping sparrows enjoyed the seeds, while 2 wet starlings sat on the phone wire. I was wondering what they were thinking. Birds must think. I can easily imagine funny little bird voices. Yes, they must. Finishing Ruth Stiles Gannett's books with the kids and making collage/ "stained glass" crafts. I am thankful for delivery services. Thankful for relatives that love me and send me birthday cards to let me know. I am also thankful for Bollywood movies, because they are different and I love different. I am also thankful for 4 wheel drive. Lets have a moment of silence for all the people without four wheel drive.........Amen. Mother's Day is coming up! One of my very favorite days. Though I get uncomfortable and wriggle around in my life, I know we are in a good place. Right where we should be.
