- gorgeous weather
- wearing a new outfit
- a hand-made card stuffed with Dove chocolate
- having almost the whole family together (missed you Grandpa)
- so many people extending their sympathies - a true testament to the impact of my grandfather
- friends who waited in long lines just for me
- sitting down after a long night of standing
It was one of those nights. As I watched each hour tick away, I became more frustrated that my mind wouldn’t stop racing. I began to dwell on the irritating moments of my day, and let my aggravation take over, until God intervened. I suddenly realized how often I overlook those harder to notice moments that remind us why life is worth living. As a result, I decided I would make a more conscious effort to seek out the moments of joy in each day. Perhaps it will inspire you to do the same.

- dedicated moms who come weekly (and even early) to see how they can assist me

- sunshine on a cloudy day
- celebrating the life of my brother (he has a wonderful year ahead!)
- knowing that our beloved Grandpa was welcomed into the arms of Jesus
- supportive friends and colleagues
- loving husband who put all of his own needs aside to simply be with me

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” - Revelation 21:3-4
