No.271: 20 Things I Love – A Gratitude Journal vol.12

This post contains affiliate links.

waking up to a pink sunrise
Lucy’s excitement when she sees me in the morning
pancakes for breakfast, made entirely by the big boys
tiny wildflowers in the yard
rearranging the kids’ bedrooms (so clean! so much more room!)
finding bookstacks by their beds, just like their mama
a homily at church that felt just for me
an unexpected compliment about my family from a sweet little old lady
running again after many months off
our mail lady, Linda, who sadly is retiring at the end of the month
cold glasses of raspberry iced tea
starting a new book
homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream
four Poshmark sales in one day (a new personal record)
excited conversations with the kids about learning to play instruments this fall
starting plans for the upcoming school year
ceiling fans on hot, humid days
watching baby birds being fed by their mama
a water table that keeps the little ones busy for hours
fireflies at dusk
