i am feeling grateful.
i am so happy we live in kansas.
while living in chicago
i missed this so much.
i missed this all around me…livestock and crops and farms.
wide open spaces.
it’s not that i want to touch these cows…
but i enjoy seeing them
and being aware of all the hard work behind farming.
i admire these animals every time i drive to the gym.
in chicago i remember seeing the guy shouting religious things
into a megaphone on the corner on my way to the gym.
never saw this in chicago parking lots…
i can’t recall goats at preschool in chicago either.
ms. trey brought in another baby goat this week.
she was named clover.
so precious.
i know it’s not for everyone of course.
and i love chicago dearly
but i am really happy to be here where we are.
here are some other random things i am grateful for…
happy spaces for toys and books.
licking brownie batter from the bowl…i do it too.
but usually i wear more clothes.
our bird, sunlight.
she gets out of her cage all the time now
and we all dodge her as she flies around he house.
i am happy for her to be flying instead of trapped.
sam’s club…getting stocked up.
family dinners.
they are hard work and tiring
but happy memories are being made.
(i hope)
and spring bursting out.
what are you happy and grateful for today?

Jenn Thomas - Waking up late this morning (9:51 AM Saturday) while Russ and London are still in bed – I love our beautiful Kansas big blue sky – I have missed it this past week. I appreciate this sunny morning – it looks like it could be 80 outside but I know it’s not. We do have a lot to appreciate out here in Kansas – thanks for reminding me. Jenn T
traci - Im GRATEFUL for someone who appreciates KANSAS!! I used to live there ( I live in Oklahoma now) and Kansas really is a great place. I dont know how you get better than what you showed in your post…GODS creation and the simply life!!! I agree with you completely…I dont want to touch a cow..lol…but I do have a sense of awww at what they stand for and what they do!! I have a HUGE, HUGE amount of respect for farmers…NO ONE works harder and loves their animals more than a real farmer.
And their is NOTHING better than a goat in preschool..LOL
You have a precious family!!

Diane - What a precious post. I wondered what state you were in. Your home (the outside anyways), reminded me of the homes in Old St. Augustine. I adore those homes and fell in love with yours instantly.
I’m grateful for so much tonight…grateful that my parents live near us and we were able to go get pizza with them tonight, and I was able to meet my good friend for coffee at Starbucks tonight. Nothing like catching up with friends and family.
Have a terrific weekend.
April - beautiful post….that bathing suit wearing batter licking kid is too cute…reminds me of my Chloe…I adore carefree….throw it in the wind…doin’it my way kids.
