I am grateful for hardwood floors that are easy to clean up, and grateful that we can rest a bit this weekend, because we worked so hard LAST weekend. And I am totally grateful for the smell of a real Christmas tree, because it seriously is the best.

I am grateful for a husband who insists on giving me an essential oil massage so I can be comfortable enough to get a good night’s sleep. And for that feeling of relief that happens when you wake up from a bad dream and realize it was only a dream. And for decaf coffee with heavy whipping cream… guilt free. And for the feeling that the life we are living is better than any I ever escaped to in imagination during my childhood. And for clean sheets on a freshly-made bed.

I am grateful for having a home, especially one that I really love. Also for puppy breath, because I know that it is fleeting. And for this mind-numbing pain in my ribs, because it means the baby is growing big and strong, and maybe it will help raise my pain tolerance level.
