Here are some of the things that I'm grateful for, at the end of a busy week:
* the big bunch of pink tulips on my kitchen table
* a fire in the woodstove, a hot water bottle, and a fleecy blanket to keep me warm {not to mention cuddles from all my boys}
* I think I'm finally getting over my cold
* polka-dot rainboots to keep my feet dry
* how much Dylan loves his after-school art class
* how much Sawyer loves his mummy
* green shoots popping up all over my garden, making me happy every time I spot a new one {come on, spring!}
* discovering some fab new blogs {I'll tell you all about them next week}
* a few really great books I'm reading {I'll tell you about them, too}
* summer holiday plans which include an entire week to hang out with my awesome sister!
* a fabulous long letter from my sweet friend Kelly {she'd been writing it since before New Year, and I'm so glad she finally sent it!}
* my wonderful mom and dad, who are going to look after the boys on Tuesday nights so I can start running with a group again
* home-baked muffins and rice krispie squares to enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate and two happy little boys
* Skype, which helps to keep faraway friends close
* my slow-cooker, for cooking dinners for me when I'm not even home! {I love walking in the door and smelling a delicious soup}
* time to sit on the couch and laugh with my husband
* my cutie-pie nephew, Eoghan, who turns 7 today!
* lots of weekend plans, including a big family get-together and a popcorn & dvd night with a friend
* your encouragement to write in my journal, train for a 10K, get to bed early... thank you!
