Today I'm thankful for:
Bananas: Though there is a small window of time when I will enjoy a banana, when I find that window- YUM! Filling, good for me, and a lot of fun to peel :)
Babies: They are adorable and so snuggly. And a lot of fun to make laugh! I am so thankful for all the beautiful babies we have at Grace, and all the beautiful babies my friends are starting to have.
Beaches: I wish I were at one right now...so relaxing. Sunshine, laying down on the sand, swimming, eating yummy food. Now that I think about it, many of the best days of my life and my favorite memories involve days at the beach.
and of course I'm thankful for...
Brian: My very tall and very cute fiance. I feel so incredibly lucky to have such a great man with a good heart in my life. He is a rock and a comfort to me. I can't wait to be married to him and to grow in our love for the rest of our lives.

The ABC's of Gratitude
Whoa, long time, no post! I knew it had been a while, but...well as you can imagine it's been a crazy summer! Busy at work, busy in life. Weddings are a lot of work for someone who hates details.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do a gratitude journal. Another blogger I read is doing that, and also because- (confession time) I don't blog sometimes because I'm not sure what to write. There are lots of things on my mind but it's hard to choose. So maybe having a topic will help focus me.
I'll move through the alphabet and blog things I'm thankful for according to the letter of the day. Gratitude journals have always helped my faith...so without further ado:
A:
Annie- My soul sister from way back in those swing choir days I mentioned in my sermon a couple weeks ago. She is a dear friend and an inspiration to me.
Anticipation- It's really more than half the fun. I usually enjoy thinking about my vacations more than I enjoy the actual vacation. Anyone else? There's a healthy dose of anticipation in my life these days, waiting for the wedding. I know it's going to fly by, so I'm trying to enjoy the moments before, too.
Alison- My lovely sister. A great example of faith and love.
Attentiveness- People who have the gift of giving their full attention to someone. Also peole who are attentive to details and catch things that I might miss!
Soo, there's the first letter down! I encourage you to journal/blog along with me and see what blessings you discover!
