Gracias a Dios

Thank you God...

for people who come alongside teachers well

and kids who eventually stop crying.

for a Kindergarten Family that is so excited to learn

and for teacher friends who are in this with me.  

for celebrations, "Friends", porches, 

and Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

I'm grateful for pink birthday cupcakes

and the crazy silly way 5 year olds eat.

for the reign of Coca-Cola 

and the small reminders that I live somewhere different.

I'm so thankful for a spunky, sweet, and sneaky bedtime visitor

and the coziness of my home.

for rich colors, coffee, and "cardigan weather".

for a community that shares well 

even when the nearest Walmart is a plane ride away.  

I'm ever grateful for Liam and the way my family 

helps me have the chance to watch him grow.

for lamp light, good jams, and cozy decor 

that makes this space a restful place to work.

What have you been grateful for this week?
