Giving thanks today

I'm going to keep up my thankfulness attitude and spill it over into the journal here. For today I'm grateful for:

• food in the house, not to be taken lightly with these kids eating non-stop
• that glimpse of the moon I saw this morning at 6:30am when I let the dogs out--so pretty, all creamy yellow
  
• a sweet talk I'm still remembering that I had with our oldest daughter on Sunday, while we were out for a drive
• my husband, who works awfully hard, and thrills me when I hear his truck drive up in the evening--I still get a rush
• a day of no pressures, unless I conjure them up myself
• the fun of putting up Valentine's wreaths on the front doors today
• homemade pizza for dinner tonight
• my children, who are total joys--every last one of them
• good health all around, definitely not taken for granted

That said, there's schoolwork to go over this morning. Two of the boys have a yard to rake for an elderly neighbor. Oldest girl at work. I intend to stick my nose in Dekker's latest book, Kiss, again....totally enjoying this one, and to thumb through more of my pile of Valentine's magazines. Heart Day---my favorite holiday, second only to Thanksgiving.

Must go now and make oatmeal. It's darned cold out there, and the kids will want warming up. Least some of 'em will eat it!

Enjoy the day!
