waking up with the sun rising through my bedroom window
sneaking outside to drink my coffee and listen to the birds

the way the baby’s hair curls in the humidity
flip flop tan lines
flip flop tan lines
the crisp, straight lines in the lawn when Mark mows
cutting into a loaf of homemade sourdough bread
the tender way the kids cared for me when I was sick

coming home from my mom’s house with a bag full of books
thunderstorms at bedtime
the explosion of words suddenly coming from TJ (such an answer to prayer!)
rainbow-colored fruit salads
dinners eaten outside on the back porch
brushing S’s hair while she talks a mile a minute

discovering a new park in town
an unexpected compliment that made my whole day
true crime conversations with my brother

discovering three new eggs in the porch fan nest
belly laughs from brothers who were supposed to be in bed
a new board game from the thrift store
important words that everyone should hear: you are seen. you are known. you are loved. (thanks for the reminder, Mary)

I am also loving flip flop tans!
And isn't it just amazing what an unexpected compliment can do for our days?
This morning I went through and was reading all the comments on my blog for the last month, and the kind words just made my heart blossom. The people I have cheering me on are just the best people in the whole world! I love you all!
YES. It's inspired me to be more vocal about compliments – so many times I will think something like, "Wow she looks great!" or "I just loved that post" or "I'm so thankful to have her in my life" etc etc and I never actually TELL the person! I want to do better.
