ending this day on the right note....filtering through gratitude...

124. bedtime stories
125. tiny voice of little one "reading" to me
126. the warm peppery smell of kindergirl's forehead-hairline when she lets me pull her close for snuggles
127. two ever-so-slightly-protruding front teeth of littlest one that are so easy to brush
128. unending supply of energy generated in little bodies
129. good, strong coffee
130. welcoming hubby home after a day at the office
131-134. new cookbooks, fresh ideas, completed weekly meal plans & grocery list
135. planned & unplanned visits from friends and neighbors
136. His unlimited patience
137. opportunities to mature & grow & mess up in the company of others
