Thankful

Ever have one of those days/weeks/months where everything seems to be in upheaval? In the midst of much change (and subsequent self-pity), I was reminded yesterday of a few things that are truly enduring. Cherished friendships.

I received an early morning wake-up call from a dear friend. Then, less than 20 minutes later, an unexpected call from another long-distance, enduring-through-the-seasons friend. And to top it all off, yet another "random" phone call from a bosom friend, just to say "hi."

I was able to walk into my day, reminded of God's faithfulness in even the smallest of areas. I am so grateful for enduring friendships. What are you grateful for today?

you know you have a daughter....

...when:

1. Screaming is a daily part of life. Just because.
2. Baby dolls are used for hugging, kissing, and throwing across the room.
3. You find hair clips in the bathroom, under the couch cushions, and in the fridge.
4. Your "lights" load of laundry is all pink.
