Inspired by TulipGirl’s daily blogging through the month about being thankful, I thought I’d follow suit. When I’m a cranky mama from not getting enough sleep with a constantly messy house, remembering my blessings sure helps reorient my perspective.
Today I’m thankful for:
* A husband who enjoys talking with me on walks
* A very cute little toddler who is funny, smart, and sweet

* A God who is faithful and has a plan for us, even as we wait to see what that is
* Naps
