I am feeling inspired by Amy M.'s post about gratitude. It has been quite awhile since I kept my gratitude journal, just jotting down every day some of the things I am grateful for. It is such a good exercise and really helps me to stay focused on what's important. The things I'm grateful for range from deep and profound to small, worldly pleasures. So while I probably won't do this every day on my blog, I will try to do it more frequently (and, hey, since I haven't done it at all yet, that sounds like a goal I can definitely achieve!). Here's what I'm feeling particularly thankful for today:
- my incredible book club friends
- chicken pasta salad, spinach dip, french bread, brownies
- ice water
- a napping baby
- good health
- a fresh haircut (first one in almost a year!)
- cute magnets on my fridge
- payday!!
- a good, reliable car and the freedom to go run errands today
Life is good.
{Good luck to Whitney today during & after her eye surgery!}

Those magnets are so cute, what a pleasing picture to see upon connecting with your blog.
Thanks for the well wishes for Whitney, she did great.
You are so inspiring...I always check in on your blog but never comment since you don't really know me...but you always give me something to think about. Jessie is lucky to have you as a sister.
true dat.
and I am also grateful for the awesomest stamps that you so generously gave me :) I can't wait to use them!
Michelle, I think you should post a picture of you with your new haircut! Today, I am thankful for my Old Navy yoga pants (sooo comfortable) and for good weather! Sunshine makes me happy.
