So, for the 5 things (we'll see if I get crazy and come up with some more):
1. my sweet family. They are each so precious in their own silly way, and man, I'm SO lucky they let me live here with them.
2. being able to read. I think about this a lot. What if I couldn't read? What a dark and lonely life I would lead.
3. the foot rub my hub gave me right before he fell asleep. I know he was too tired to do it, but he still did it without complaint. Such a good man.
4. a comfy bed. Lying here now, clicking away, feels very luxurious. What if I had to sleep under a bridge, on hard concrete? I'm so grateful that I don't have to tonight.
5. the chocolate covered almonds in my kitchen. Can't wait to have a couple for breakfast!
6. (okay, one more) the weather. It's not gross hot today! It was definitely warm today, but tolerable, especially for July. When it gets broiler hot outside, I get a tad cranky.
7. (last one) I'm grateful I'm now retiring for the night. And turning out the light, snuggling next to the one I love the most, and sleeping comfortably until the cool limbs and soft caresses of my little ones wake me in the morn.
Good night, all.
