the way the sun shines through the windows in the morning
turning the heat off and not needing the air conditioning
TJ’s curls
watching the boys run and play at the park
praying the St. Joseph novena for all of the fathers in my life
putting all of the winter coats away
freshly sharpened pencils
a book I can’t put down
waking up headache-free after a hard few days
checking long-awaited projects off the to-do list
waking up to the smell of coffee
lemon and lavender in the diffuser
seeing itty-bitty progress in my workouts
when M cooks breakfast for all of his siblings
Sophia’s compliments on any food I make: “Oh mama, it’s delightful!”
packaging orders
the sweet (and sometimes sour) relationship growing between D and J
planning a training schedule for another half marathon
learning something new
this quote I stumbled upon on Pinterest from Ruth Bell Graham: “As a mother, my job is to take care of the possible and trust God with the impossible.”
