Gratitude

Blessings I often take for granted but have begun to be very aware of as they will soon be gone for a while.

• being able to drive with my music loud and sing
• a warm shower
• napping on my cool leather couch with a warm blanket
• seeing all the smiling faces when I get to work in the morning
• my morning coffee and visiting in the kitchen
• friends who you can count on at the drop of a hat
• being able to text or call someone you are thinking of whenever you want
• road trips to close destinations just to be in the car with someone you love
• my "workout" family that are the first faces I see every morning
• the parents of people I went to the youth group with who love me like their own kid
• the smell of my parents house
• the way my mom winks at me to acknowledge she is listening when she is drinking sweet tea
• my kitty sleeping on the corner of my bed
• being surrounded by people who know you and not having to explain yourself
