Today I started my first blog. I hope today is a day I will remember.
My two oldest girls were certainly counting on it.
They have been looking forward, not to my blog, but to a swim day with friends--
not gonna happen.
It's a dreary, rainy day that was much needed
(regardless of what my children would have you to believe)
here in the Mountain State.
So, I hope this can be a creative outlet and a place to....
Oh, I don't even know what I hope, but
we shall see.
For today, I am going to compose a list of some favorite things.
Pay no mind to the order. After all, this is RADrambling. ;-)
I challenge you to do the same.
Exercise your imagination...it's bored.
I LOVE:
- how God never changes
- my babies' first smiles of the day
- hugs
- my husband's hands
- the smell of the ocean
- sleeping in
- road trips
- the arrival of "lightning bugs"
- seeing the world through the eyes of a child
- late-night car rides with the windows down
- my church family
- snow-covered trees
- Thanksgiving
- watching my children discover new things
- puppy breath
- Summer thunderstorms
- iron skillets
- the smell of fresh sheets
- picking up things with my feet
- sunglasses
- my girls' sincerity and faith in prayer
- being from a small town
- floating down the river
- geocaching
- tomatoes fresh from the garden
- my whole family around the kitchen table
- hiking
- when all the socks have a mate (this never happens, but it would be my favorite)
- being barefoot
- date-night with the hubs
- crab legs
- being tickled
- fat rolls on babies
- corny jokes
- snow days
- high-fives
- family cookouts
- babies laughing in their sleep (or babies laughing....ever)
- saving the best bite for last
- making kids' crafts
- how my husband packs in all the groceries
- COFFEE---I almost forgot coffee!!!
- science fairs
- cooking competitions for dinner
- impromptu performances by my girls
- being surprised
- pinky promises
- people who spell things correctly
- sitting in the dark with the Christmas tree lights on
- today
I'll stop now because I could go on and on. Don't worry--I'll be back soon.
It's amazing how much I have to love in my life
(and this is just a tiny list, holding many trivial things).
God has blessed me more than I deserve.
Hope this list prompts you to reflect on, and be thankful for, your very own favorites. :-)
