random thanks

i have so much to be thank filled for.
sometimes it's harder to see.
and sometimes, blogging just takes too much time and effort.

but, this morning i was thinking about a few things i am thank filled for:
- coffee. (that's a pretty consistent one)
- paint.  i'm looking forward to painting abraham's room this weekend.  a task that i can plan and complete. sometimes stay at home moms need those...
- my partner.  i love him.  i'm thankful for him.  i can't imagine doing life without him.
- retreats.  it's ok to admit that this is hard and that i need a break.  i'm looking forward to this retreat with some friends.  i don't even know WHICH friends, yet ;-)
- china.  it's rocked my world.  it's changed my perspective.  when i think of the past 5 1/2 years, so much of my life and heart are there.  so thank filled that god opened my eyes to these people.
