For time with just Roo, I am thankful.

For this heart-shaped leaf on a late-night dog walk, I am thankful.

For family pizza out, even when it’s stressful, and the difficult littles have become difficult bigs, I am thankful.

For progress in the tearing down and in the building back up, I am thankful.

For moments celebrated and milestones reached and unexpected visits from adult children, I am thankful.

For a body that reminds me of its need for rest and for care in the busy, I’m thankful.

For time to think and space to write and a blog to return to, I’m thankful.
