Happiness is…

…Singing my daughter her bedtime song as she rests her head on my left shoulder, then suddenly she lifts herself up just inches from my face and begins to softly “brush” my hair and then tenderly place her hands on my cheeks, then going back to leaning her head on my shoulder. Thank you Lord… Continue reading Happiness is…

Closing May

May is ending on a wonderful note. I could probably break this down into two separate posts but I’m so eager to talk about both things that I’m squeezing it all in one. Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary! I know it may sound so cheesy but I truly feel so blessed by the wonderful… Continue reading Closing May

Be Thankful

I’ve missed writing and I wish I could say more right now but I’m so exhausted at the moment that all I can think of is rest. Just wanted to say I’m thankful for the ability to feel this exhaustion and where I am at this moment and that I’ll be falling asleep soon.

It’s such a beautiful day in sunny Southern California that you would think it is May instead of almost mid November. One of my favorite seasons is Fall, and while I would love to see more of those overcast cool days and more Autumn leaves, I can’t help but smile when the air is cool outside… Continue reading Grateful For Life

Today was filled with a whole bunch of lovely moments. My day started off with one of my favorite things…my husband and I saying a prayer together before starting a new day. For me this has always been one of the best ways to start off my day. I love when it’s dark in the… Continue reading Love is in the little things

Acts of Kindness & Love

Lately I have been surprised by so many acts of kindness and love that I’m at a loss for words in expressing my gratitude to God and my family/friends and all I can say is a heartfelt Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I actually heard those 3 simple but significant thank you’s from one of the Pastor’s at church at our… Continue reading Acts of Kindness & Love

Being Thankful and Aware

A couple of days ago I made a reference on my post about being thankful for every one of my blessings and I decided to keep this topic for another post because I was about to get very much off topic from what I had been writing that day. When I was writing down those… Continue reading Being Thankful and Aware
