a weekend’s gratitude

A rough start made softer by a lovely friend’s visit with her sweet babe;

a boy’s sweater checked off the to-do list;

a quick morning outing with my darling 7yo;

home again for Saturday’s chores;

cleaning completed with a team effort;

the treat of take-out, especially after the week’s new regime;

hearty, side-shaking, tear-rolling laughter with friends after a week of grin and bear it;

a glorious morning – sun shining, clothes hanging, birds singing;

just the day my soul needed;

the drip, drip, drip of melting snow;

sun slanting through family room windows crossing littles playing and jenga games;

a relaxing afternoon with a friend where we skipped the crafting we’d planned to enjoy the company;

Dan’s marvelous fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants-and-hope-it-works dinner;

an earlier to bed thanks to daylight savings;

finding our way down to the sewing machine while Dan finished the goodnights upstairs;

a long overdue sewing project complete;

and a snuggle on the couch with tea to chase away this cold that keeps threatening.

Dear ones, refreshment, uplifting.
