September 10th

I am grateful for sunny days that redeem rainy mornings.

For McDonald's softserve and sandy shoes, for iced chai shared in Public Square.

I am grateful for the free smoothie we got at dinner.

I am grateful that Nat did the vacuuming for me.

I am grateful absolute steals at the thrift store (Keen sandals for Jack, $1.  Skechers shoes for Ivy, $1. A bottomless crate of Hotwheels paraphernalia, $8.  Good stuff, I'm telling ya.)

I am grateful for children who went to bed easily and toured downtown patiently and entertained us all day long.

I am grateful that it is only 9:45 and that I can sleep in tomorrow because I still have a lot to do before I sleep...

I am grateful for how much I laughed today.
