Grateful.

Our weather today peaked in the 70s.
I spent the afternoon
practicing my TaeKwonDo moves to
Bananarama’s “Cruel Summer.”
*
Truly, I did.
*
I’m so THANKFUL for the lengthy stay of summer weather.
The yellow sun felt like God’s warm grace streaming straight from heaven. Thank you. Thank you.
To kick off this season of gratitude,
I hot glue-gunned this
Thankful Tree
with cuttings from our lilac tree
and a few vintage buttons.
(ain’t it cute?)
*
As a family, we’re writing down our blessings,rolling them up, and tying them to the tree. Come thanksgiving day, we’ll gather together and read them one by one.
*
I’m grateful I get to look forward to that.
I think I’ll go write it down right now.
