Gratitude & Happy Things

Definitely been feeling thankful lately and am constantly reminding myself to appreciate the little things in life.  Here are some of the things that have been gracing my life and mind:

--Butterflies in the air
--Racoon families crossing the road
--Weekends spent BBQing with friends and lounging on the river shores
--Long weekends up ahead to celebrate our nation's independence
--The know-how to search for jobs for our move back to Oregon
--Enough previous contacts to help me network back in Oregon
--Tomatoes purchased at the local, tiny farmer's market
--Grocery store runs with the hub
--Evenings reading in bed (Committed was a great sociological and personal look at marriage; Friday Night Knitting Club is looking good)
--Ten miles covered in running shoes last week (all with the companionship of the doggies)
--Jalapenos & bell peppers continuing to grow
--Excitement at the upcoming visit from mom and granny
--Email exchanges with dear friends
--The boss being a boss
--The dead beatle on display in my office
--Bins of recyclying
--Lady's purrs
--New mineral eyeshadow sets arriving in the mail
--Sending cards & summer mail love to others
--Phone visits with my father
--Pictures & photo worthy moments of life
--Orange & pink moths near the front door
--New Itunes music purchased by a wonderful gift card from a coworker
--Patience yet the ability to look long term
--Afternoon thunderstorms & a rainstorm that actually dropped us 10 degrees
--Daydream believers
--Free bang trim from another military wife
--Quick housecleaning on an early Friday evening
--Sharing moments with friends
--Commitment big and small
