Oh, so much

Oh, so much to be thankful for. Oh, so many memories to capture in words. Oh God, keep on opening my eyes to your gifts…big and small. I want to remember the sweet smiles, the small victories, the moments of joy. So, I take note. I come to this quiet little space on the web and count my blessings. One by one…

the whole family at the pool, 2 Saturdays in a row! I love it!
