smiling.

yes, smiling.

because when i start to think of what i’m thankful for,

i smile.

i smile because i think of my husband and how good his soul is.
his determination to make me laugh in my worst of moods,
he is so much more than i ever deserved.

i smile because i think of my oldest daughter who is more and more beautiful everyday, and in so many ways a mini-me in character, and in so many ways constantly teaching me to be better.

i smile because i think of my moosey, her sassy humor, always ready to tell you her leatest joke.

her latest story.
