gratitude

some moments that have been delighting my heart lately.

picking a warm peach off the tree and putting it my yogurt and granola for breakfast
his walking from outfield to the dugout only clutching his mitt
google flights. need i say anything more?
beating the clock by 8 minutes!
finding a cord for him that works
both of us choosing number seven (when the stakes were very high)
being able to share my thoughts and words on this lovely new project!
and what it did to my heart to ponder those questions
her words in my ears, the moment i woke up, to be gentle
very, very gentle to myself
finding all the papers i thought i had lost
anticipating witnessing God moving in mighty ways
remembering that the heaviness that comes with this side of heaven is not ours to carry
having so many wonderful fun things going on that i am overwhelmed
how i just know that may is going to be a fantastic month
being such an idiot with Luke and having him laugh about it:
going to the checkout at target after putting nothing in my basket and asking him to get the scanner gun which he refused. because he knew that there was nothing to purchase
bright yellow illuminating our house
teeny tiny goals for today like showering and going to costco and folding laundry
holding onto the hope that if we go to Costco today, he won’t wake up at 4am tomorrow morning, too excited for the outing
how he’s a lot like his Papa in that way
choosing to stay hopeful, even if i can only muster a glimmer
realizing for the first time ever that there is a huge difference between peacemaker and peacekeeper
how my sore toe isn’t sore anymore
and (as always) the smell of freshly baked sourdough wafting through the house
