Love Thursday

This day is grey. We've had brief periods of sun but clouds are the overriding theme. I don't do well without the sun; especially weeks on end. I'm tired. I don't wanna do things (said in THE whiniest intonation); I have no desire to cook, clean, drive, shower, or exit my pajamas. But I have a family and a job and other minor impediments that prevent me from staying in bed. So I continue on but not with my usual fervor (my husband would now like to butt in to state that my usual fervor is hardly fervorish. I will contend, however, that it is fervorisher than now. And yes. Fervorisher is a word as is fevorish. Why? Because I said so. My blog. My rules.).

This week has been trying. The kids have been at each other's throats. We're all testy. And I find it's times like this when daily gratitude really becomes important. So here is today's list.

I am grateful for:

• Beautiful perfect tiny babies who fit into their tiny knit hats
• Stripped socks in bright colors
• Funny felt wallets made for 4th grade town
• Heart crayons also made for town
  
• The blackboard hanging from our coat closet
• The library
• A book club full of wonderful women
• No predators in my backyard the night before last (when our chickens were inadvertently left to roam free)
• An upcoming week off work
• My crock pot
• My six-year-old who would rather make a gift for an upcoming party than buy something because it "means more" that way.

This feeling of fatigue? It's nothing new. It too shall pass.

Happy Love Thursday!
