Joining Monica again for Joy Pockets
the smell of morning after rain
the achy goodness of muscles re-awakened
nerf wars with the boy
impromptu talent shows from the girl
the feel of thin soft cotton on the skin
losing myself in Coldplay's new song
the Sketchbook project tour here... today
Melanie, my favorite
the arrival of the bluebirds
and This Moment with Amanda
I had several pockets and moments this week to help me remember how fortunate I truly am, including the moments from all of you. Many of your comments this week blew...me...away. I am so grateful for the community I found in you, the friendships, the kindness...so many many thank yous.
Happy weekend and much love to all of you
