Gratitude

For a week with little sleep, lots of laughs, not very many showers, meals and snacks, a few bottles of wine, an escape to / catch up with my friend Elizabeth, sweeping, Swiffering, cleaning the countertops, naps, strollers, smiles, animal sounds, diapers, toys that make sounds, sleepy eyes, and love...

Gratitude.

For great friends that let me stay with them and play with their kids, for their family that welcomes me on Thanksgiving, for friends that let me drive their car to escape to Elizabeth's, for the excitement that this home gives, for how peaceful and boring my house will be when I go home tomorrow...

Gratitude.

For friends that are like family, for food, for wine, for laughter, for love, for health, for life...

Gratitude.

With love,
