some August

thankful for
-my will to live? that i haven't given up. maybe i'm stronger than i think? sometimes you see moments of sad, but you are glad you're a survivor. not explaining myself well :b
-new life and the 4 (at least 4) pregnant moms who are making it happen.
-a surprisingly nice time at a car show in sterling. nice family time.
-a dad's pride in his son - soccer
-sisters in Christ doing the fellowship thing
-beauty in color. fun time painting. SJ's baby born today. thankful for MOPS. you are a life saver!

thankful for sweet friends who are willing to hang out. thankful for S's reaction to shenandoah caverns and happy to see he likes fireworks. thankful that i've grown a little in mothering. it's hard to explain, but i'm not that lady who is crying every day.. honestly i can't remember when i stopped. that first year was tough, for sure. thankful for a thing called forgiveness.

thankful I can use some talents for another round of the MOPS consignment sale. thankful I don't always win the ebay auctions i bid on. thankful to see people smile when they've been down so long.
thankful for my dad. happy birthday! thankful for my husband and in-laws for being sweet people. thankful for Hilda - you blessed quite a few people in your 83 years. Hope you know that. Enjoy heaven :)
