My Lent Project: Day 3


Instead of giving UP something for Lent, I’m giving THANKS for the many blessings of life.  Here’s what I’m feeling incredibly thankful for today . . .


Weekends.


Sleeping in.


The warm sun on my back.


A win on the lacrosse field for the Wolves.


Watching my daughter practice her mothering skills with a 2 year- old.


Cherry trees in bloom.


Hundreds of tiny buds on our dogwood tree.


Bright yellow daffodils smiling at me from our backyard.


A long walk.


70 degrees in early March.


The start of spring baseball season on a perfect afternoon.


Charlie on the pitcher's mound throwing strikes.


A great catch in center field.


A great hit to center field.


Watching Libby make a new friend on the playground.


Salmon cooked just right.


Crumbled bleu cheese on a salad.


Feeling completely understood by a good friend.


Tony Horton's chest, shoulders, and triceps workout.


A glass of red wine with my husband on Saturday night.


The sound of my children giggling together.


Jesus, who taught us what it means to give.
