count your blessings name them one by one

Remember that old hymn? Do you do that? Do I?

So in light of the devastation and sadness in Haiti, I decided last Tuesday to start a diary of sorts: just jotting down 3 highlights in my day for a week. Definitely gives me some perspective, I have sooooo much to be thankful for, plus it was just fun to read them back because I so quickly forget the little things that are blessings!


Tuesday:

-voting.

-bringing Rachel to work with me after school, gives me perspective. (:

-home.

Wednesday:

-snuggling on the couch with Emma.

-getting a homemade sympathy card in the mail from a sweet friend.

-seeing the cat jump from the top of the bookcase and attempting to land on the back of the couch but disappearing behind the cushion instead. Oh, if only I had gotten that on video!

Thursday:

-mahi mahi for lunch at work.

-my work week is o-vah!

-millet bagel with fat free cream cheese..hmmm...

Friday:

-15 minute nap.

-family movie night-Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

-the baby rescued, uninjured, after being trapped for 3 days in Haiti.

Saturday:

-chiropractor appointment.

-new chiropractic pillow which will hopefully mean less of the above.

-my virst first Boden order arrived!! (more about that in another post)

Sunday:

-church.

-celebrating my nephew's 5th birthday.

-24 season premiere.

Monday:

-being home with both girls on a pretty snowy day.

-making rice krispy treats with Rachel.

-pepsi throwback.
