The Little Things

{Hot Chocolate}
{A good Magazine}
{Sitting by the fire}
{Talking to my Besty on the Phone}
{A Massage}
{A good hair day}
{Hot Artichoke dip}
(A Kiss from the hubster}
{When Ava shakes it}
{Watching Blaise make a goal}
{Hearing yet another one of Caiden's jokes about poo}

Yep, those things make me happy. I am so grateful for so many things. Even Caiden's Poop Jokes. ESPECIALLY Caiden's Poop Jokes.

Sure, I'm grateful for a roof over my head, healthy kids, the gospel, a loving husband. Those are HUGE things and always the top of my list.

But those BIGGIES aren't always what I think about and feel EVERYDAY.

With the economy, and mother nature, and politics, sometimes the LITTLE THINGS in our life is what gets us through. Sometimes when life is SO hard, it's easier to be grateful for one of Caiden's Poop jokes.

Yep, when I'm on the verge of tears because I'm tired of life, tired of cleaning, just plain tired, I am SO grateful that I can cuddle up to Caiden and hear a joke about poo!!!

Sometimes it's easier to feel and cherish the little things.

And if you think about it, when you make a list of the little things, you could go on being grateful forever.

p.s. Sorry about my repeated use of the word POOP!!!
