“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal

into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our

past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

~Melody Beattie

In the name of gratitude and truthfulness I’ve decided to post a little piece of reality here once a week. Likely just a single picture. See my original post here.

Our full reality feels like it’s been temporarily suspended while we’ve enjoyed our lovely vacation. I’m so so thankful for all the work Dan’s parents have been doing to take care of us, clean up after us and letting us invade their beautiful (and wonderfully spacious) home.

I’m thankful that for these couple of weeks we’re living in a home with not one, not two but three bathrooms (!!) – even if potty training seems to be taking a vacation of its own.

Today and each day I am thankful for these hands, a Father’s hands. Hands that guide, encourage, support and lift up. Hands that deal with dirty business, hungry mouths and heavy lifting. Hands that teach acceptance and worth to those under their care. Hands that give so much in the name of unconditional love. Today I am celebrating and giving thanks for the many different Father’s that are and have been a  part of my life and my children’s lifes.

Happy Father’s Day!

Today, I’m thankful for family times shared together and that popcorn and veggies can pass as a meal.

Today, I’m thankful for little fingers – little fingers that give big hugs, little fingers that hold tight to older hands and little fingers that make big messes.
