Today I am grateful for the precious moments of the weekend. At this moment, I am grateful for the little one in my arms, cuddled up, and sharing my apple with me. We sit here, quietly looking out on gray skies, snuggled together.
I catch my thoughts drifting... wondering about how this day will work out, how I'm going to get A, B, and C done, thinking about others, and how my husband is feeling.
And then I feel a little hand on mine, and a soft request, "Momma... where's apple?" Kissing her head, breathing her in, I'm brought back to the present, as I watch my child take a hearty bite, chew, and swallow.

Grateful for Family Time
This morning I am grateful that I am able to cook in the kitchen with my husband. I am grateful for the one-on-one snuggles and group snuggles with my children. I am grateful for the moment where I was able to read together with my daughter while we cuddle under soft sheets. I am grateful for the back rub that my husband gave me. I am grateful for the quality time we have been discovering as a family this weekend - we've really needed it.

It's been a while...
and I find myself grateful to return here, to remember, to refill my gratitude tank.
Today I am grateful for a friend's farm, the green that summer brings, smiles and caring people. I am grateful for the scent of my children, the softness of their faces, the delight in their eyes, and their feel in my arms. I am grateful for the start of a new month, the return to a familiar place, and the delight of possibilities.

Simple Gratitudes
Today, I am grateful for remembering that focusing on gratitude is important, and that I'd benefit from doing more of it.
Today, I am grateful for getting to hold my sweet nephew this weekend. And even more so that my brother got up early after a night out, to bring his sons to see us on a Sunday morning. He is awesome.
I am grateful for friends - being with them, staying with them, and hosting them.
I am grateful for the lessons I've learned, and the people in my life who teach them.
