Great Big Plans

I'm so thankful for our cozy apartment, for the hard-wood floors that I love so much, the new england wooden framework that borders our windows and doors, and the pale yellow colors on the walls. I'm thankful for color, and inspiration. I can't wait to do some heavy-duty decorating once we get our feet solid on the ground. Having said that, I'm totally content where I am right now. It's easy to waste your days away with wants, and the future - like someday I want a baby, someday I want a better vehicle, someday I want to get into a full-time job. All of those are true, but right now... I'm totally happy. I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful for my morning cup of coffee that calms my nerves and gets me set for the day. I'm thankful for Rigby - even though she's convinced she can attack squirrels through the windows. I'm thankful for my loving husband, and I'm so happy to have someone to wake up next to every morning. I'm thankful for the little things in life. I'm so happy that Becca showed me Ann Voskamp's blog, and book. I hope to read the book someday, but I also look forward to reading her blog posts - she is a very wise woman of God. I'm thankful that I got the "to-do" list for yesterday done, and I'm thankful that I'm losing weight! (yaaaay!!) I'm looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, and getting this weekend over with. I can't wait to get my next unit assignment. Apparently it'll be a walk in the park compared to E100. Lord, you are just too kind to me. Thank you for your many wonderful gifts, and always remind me not to be complacent. Amen. Love, Sara
