One of my blogger friends, Mary (that I had the chance to meet this summer) recently composed this post. I love the reminder to intentionally be thankful.
There are alot of days here in Delhi that could be categorized as REALLY bad days. There are really GREAT days too but I tend to forget those (it's just easier to dwell on the negative than the positive, right?).
I read Mary's post on one of those less than desirable days as an mom living overseas.
Want me to share my partial list? I would share the whole list, but I find that when I'm consciously thinking about what makes me ga-ga, I could go on forever.
1. When my middle little wakes me up on the weekend mornings and asks me to color with him.
2. When someone tells me YES the first time I ask/call (like to resolve an issue, solve a problem or when I ask if they have a spot at their very full preschool for my daughter)
3. When my husband walks up behind me and wraps his arms around me and just sighs. (delicious)
4. When he makes my coffee ... I can smell it perking. It's different when you make your own. You can't smell it brewing.
5. When my teenager says "Thanks, mom" ... doesn't sound like much, but it means ALOT and makes my soul smile.
6. It's Amazing ... by Jem.
7. Running and having the PERFECT song come on at the perfect time in my run. I look like an idiot when I randomly smile as I'm sweating profusely and running.
8. The rain.
9. A brand new box of crayons.
10. The three squeezes that my children and I use as our "I love you" signal when we're holding hands.
11. A great pair of earrings.
12. Crisp new sheets on my bed.
13. Husker football.
14. My husband's amazing potato creation on weekend mornings.
15. Watching my kids ... in all their varied stages and ages ... play together.
What's on your ga-ga list?
