Every morning, I am delighted with my fresh cup of hot coffee.

Warm fuzzy blankets, especially during the past few frigid days.

1000 Gifts {Day 28}

Three graces found in friends (two specifically for this post):

Time shared over a cup of coffee.  Sitting in various living rooms enjoying the savoury aroma and taste of coffee, listening to the kids play together and just being with each other.

The opportunity to share thoughts, opinions and views over a topic that is common to us all.  Homeschooling.
The people I can be honest with. They appreciate me for who I am and I appreciate them for everything they do.

The LED light that shines when I turn my sewing machine on, our vast open sky, the color of Arianna's eyes that light up every time she sees me

January 25: a grace borrowed, found, inherited
The old wooden rocking chair that I used when each of the kids was a baby.  Re-found it in the basement and it's now become mine.
