[Gratitude]

[This is for you, Alexi, to get you through while I'm trying to overcome my blogging funk.]

I am thankful...

...for friends who have farms and Dr. Phil's warm coat.

...for horses that are kind instead of scary and allow me to fully enjoy God's creation.

...for these glasses, which I will probably end up wearing on the daily. #nipsturd

...for this picture of Alexi who is just one of my favorite people and brings a heck of a lot of joy and light to my life. 

...for the time and resources to be able to freely craft while I have so much down time at home. This is my newly painted poetry journal. Get it? Poetree? I'm clever, I know. 

and...

...for mothers who let me crash their Friday night movie dates with friends when I don't have any.
...for Copper Rock, even though it's no Racy's.
...for the sweater I've taken out of my laundry bag 4 times in the last month because it's just that warm.
...for trips to Chipotle and finding chocolate hidden in my car. 
...for long phone conversations with long-distance friends who know how to speak straight to my heart. Well, not quite as well as Jesus does, but he is speaking through them, so it's pretty darn close.
