The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

February 8, 2019

No.219: The Good List // Vol.05

a little list of things I noticed this week

a welcome break from the frigid cold with temps in the high 60’s
warm sunshine on my (pasty white) skin
listening to the children’s laughter outside
pick up football games in the front yard
celebrating the birth of the love of my life
quick rounds of a fun new card game
slow starts in the morning
the sound of bacon crisping in the kitchen
this inspiring talk about anti-fragile faith (worth listening to the end – I cried!)
steaming mugs of peach passion tea
going to bed with everything in its place
tiny movement on the scale in the right direction (thank you, no sugar challenge)
a second, much more affordable, opinion on a necessary home repair
cracking open a brand new book and being sucked in from the first few pages
a roof over our head and food in our bellies
an extraordinary ordinary life

    "going to bed with everything in its place"
    yes, yes, yes!
    And same with starting a new book & being sucked in.
    Simply the BEST!

      It's been a while since I've wanted to avoid all responsibilities and just READ.
      Doesn't happen too often, but I love the surprise of it when it does!
