I Count My Blessings

I count my blessings. I thank God today first and foremost, for my wonderful family, whom I too often take for granted. I thank God for my amazing friends, who are always there to help us before we can even form the words on our mouths to ask for the help. And they go above and beyond that call, and help in ways that truly leave me in awe. I am thankful for our dogs, that they can love so unconditionally. I am thankful for the flowers pictured above, given to me by my beaming, proud, red headed son. If I wasn't enjoying the pure perfection and love of the moment when he presented me with these freshly picked flowers, I would have snapped a picture. But there are some memories we can only hold in the photo albums of our hearts. We found this "vase" and the flowers made it almost a week. And not once did I pass them without smiling. I am thankful for my husband who is my rock and my best friend in only ways that he can truly know and understand. Here's another picture of the joy I get to experience everyday. My sweet miracle, cuddling with me on the couch last week. I believe we were watching the Bee movie for the 25th time (a present from the Easter Bunny). So, I apologize that I'm way behind on blogging, but I'm just temporarily away. Counting my blessings.
