I am grateful:
For evening walks in the fall-soon air with just my dog for company.
For my dog, who is the best dog in the universe. For her constant loyalty and her soft walk next to me, her eyes on me, following cues; for her floppy curly ears and the compliments she inspires; for her gentle nature and the trust I place in her. I love that dog.
For friends who fit us like cozy sweaters, who we don't have to clean house for. Who bring us apple cake.
I am grateful for apple cake.
For three little girls who play together on the slide while we drink our coffee. For the big boy who helps them down from the ladder when they need it. Who declares "Its a perfect time to light a fire" and relishes each toasted mini-marshmallow.
For chilly dusky hours when a fire feels great.
For scented candles.
For three day weekends. Have I mentioned how much I love three day weekends?
For teamwork with the kids and alone time too; for sharing the load with the laundry and dishes and actually pulling off a full dinner for 8 tonight. For delicious grilled chicken and salad, for the abundance of food, for coffee with cream, and the blessing of time to enjoy it all.
