The Little Things
April 23, 2015

Happy Thursday! I still feel like I JUST got back from my trip to Mexico, and can’t wrap my mind around the fact that it’s been just over 2 weeks already. Here’s what I’m thankful for right now:

I’m thankful for the sounds of birds chirping. That noise along brings so much hope and joy to my life! I love listening to their sweet little songs, and it reminds me of the new life around me. Spring is here!

I’m thankful for delicious cookies at work meetings. This semester I’ve been at a work meeting once a week where we are given two of the most delicious, soft cookies ever. I love those cookies, and am thankful for that little mid-week treat!

I’m thankful for the time I’ve had with my Mexico team! We had two debriefing meetings/class sessions when we returned from our trip, but a few days ago we had our last one. Now all that’s left for me is grading the last of the course work and doing my own processing of the trip. I’m thankful that when we got off the plane in the US it wasn’t our last time together as a team.

I’m thankful for beautiful magnolia flowers. For most of my life I lived in an area where magnolias didn’t exist, so when I moved to the area that I live now, I was so excited to see the magnolias bloom again! I’m thankful for how beautiful they are and the extra color they add to life.

I’m thankful for music. I can’t imagine music in life. Whether we’re happy, sad, stressed, grieving, in need of inspiration, celebrating… there are songs out there for every emotion, season, and situation. I’m thankful for the presence of music in my life and in each of those emotions and situations.

Now it’s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for today?
