1312-1315

1312. grapefruit scented candle, sits quietly on our coffee table, gently releasing the smell of freshly cut citrus

1313. slept hard early this morning after being abruptly awakened by our youngest howling. after she was attended too, i was able to go promptly back to sleep for another two hours. 

1314. did the steps 6 times this week, the X 3 times with nathan, and a 3.2 mile hike with the girls. I am thankful there is a quiet, yet steady improvement each time i strive. i would love to keep this up.

1315. the game Catchphrase. It's one of my favorite games and i don't get to play it very often. tonite we did and i had a lot of fun.

1314. peace and joy in my marriage. we have come out of a moody, cantankerous crusty season, but we are striving for unity and kindness, patience and love.  our 8 year anniversary is coming up on the 15th of june!

1315. the words and encouragement of others. words of kindness and thoughtfulness go such a long way with me, i am so thankful for them and tuck them away and remember them with fondness..
