Join me, won’t you?

1-Sleeping children. They’re so peaceful.

2-Hearing children sing

3-Crossing things off my to-do list

  1. You must have known who to tag in this. I could also really use a gratitude list today. I am thin on patience, but I have to remember I am blessed. Going to work on this now 😉 xxoo

  2. Thanks for the tag Gina! It was so much fun to list out 20 things I’m grateful for/that make me smile.

    Sleeping children – oh my yes! I love Lucy to pieces, and sometimes I need her to be asleep and still for me to really really appreciate her.
