A Week of Blessings

February 25: A gift worn out, new, made do
An old tattered housecoat that Arianna "adopted".  Worn out for me, new for her and I made do without.

February 26: 3 gifts seen as reflections
Sarah watching the kids outside, writing about our journey through depression, reading a parenting book.

February 27: 3 ugly-beautiful gifts
sloppy wet snow that makes everything so dirty, drywall dust that is everywhere



February 28: 3 gifts from the past that help you trust the future
doctor appointments ensuring Sarah's growth, re-reading my marriage vows, necklace with my kids' names



March 1: 3 gifts at 3 pm
Red, flushed cheeks from my kids playing outside, a quiet coffee date with my mother in law, encouraging messages from friends



March 2: 3 gifts green
The abundance of fresh produce in the fridge, soft flannel material ready to be sewn, the ribbon of support for cerebral palsy



March 3: 3 gifts wore
Fuzzy, fleece sleepers, soft and warm boots, flip flops that sit in my back porch... longing to be worn.
