Throughout the day, the lighting changes.
Every day I feel lucky to see the sun rise. (even if it's a blizzard!)
Every day I feel lucky to live a life. (that can be so hard and stressful! yes)
Every day I feel lucky to stay at home and raise 4 great kids. (even when they are fighting and driving me crazy!)
Every day I know that I am blessed. (even amongst all the many trials!)
It sounds cheesy I know, but life can change in an instant.
My friend Laura did a great post on enjoying all the "simple treasures" in life...
boy is she right.
We've got to enjoy those sweet little moments and not take them for granted.
Because you know, in one instant, it could all be gone or altered.
So today I will look at things in a new light.
And yes, I try to already do that, but there are some days I don't.
Today is a little different:
It's going to be a new year, new changes, new experiences.
Today I will enjoy it all. Big and little, simple and complicated.
Life's a sweet gift.
Now today the sun is setting
and I love the lighting.
Today I am grateful for something as simple as this room.
Yup, sounds crazy, but this room makes my heart happy.
Especially when the sun. is. almost. down.
Look at this beautiful lighting:
So today, today I am grateful for something as simple as
thank you.
~ And thanks to Laura for the great reminder.
And I really love my song: Nickel Creek, 'Sweet Afton'...great words.

Loved your post. It is nice to remember just the simple things. Love your blog and your attitude. It makes me happy. Today I am grateful for TAWNY:)
this post made me teary. i guess i was thinking that things really can "change in an instant" when i lost kendall. i'm glad that you inspired me to realize that life can go on, still, even with her gone.
love you sis.
Brie I love you! and I think about you and Kendall often~I'm grateful you are my sis. every. single. day.

That was an awesome post. The pictures are beautiful. Our houses face the same and I have that same light coming in my office. My desk faces the window and it blinds me and then I can see all the dust flying around. I then shut the blinds. The dust drives me crazy. I guess I should be thankful for the little dust particles. I loved your message and I needed that today. Thanks for being my friend today!!!!
SO good to talk to you yesterday. i love that i can not see you for years and then just pick up where we left off. hopefully someday we'll get to hang out in person again.
That post brought me to tears too. Sorry i so late in commenting. You touched on a universal truth. We have to cherish what we haave. We truly don't know about tomorrow. I am always so grateful for the light of love and friendship and God in my life. Thanks for reminding me!
