Lavender...

Lavender  grows in this little valley like its nobody's business.

It's one of those plants that you plop in the ground and walk away.

It keeps coming back and giving you it's fresh sent...right there for the picking.

Thank you lavender, thank you summer.  You are a delight.

Hello world...

Good morning world.  

I wish I could get more, restful sleep.  But I'm so thankful for a night spent with mostly closed eyelids.

I wish I could get my pre-pregnancy pants buttoned, but I'm so thankful for a fully capable body.

I wish I only had auburn highlights in my hair and not white ones too, but I'm so thankful for 33 full years of life.

I wish breakfast would cook itself, but I'm so thankful for a grocery store at my finger tips for the taking.

I wish I could clear up my to do list with one glorious day all to myself, but I'm so thankful for the beautiful distraction of Amelia Lyn.

I wish I could march into loved ones lives and clear up messes and mistakes, but I am thankful to be able to hold their hand and walk through the dark with them.

Today is a day for being more thankful, and less wishful.
