{gratitude} lately

the past few weeks have been rough, and I can find myself easily complaining about little things. today I'm making a list of things I am thankful to remind myself there is good, even in the crazy...

 for warm chocolate chip cookies that give you energy to power through a late night at the library.

 for friends who share their amazing tea secrets, are always smiling, and countdown to wednesday night's mixxed fit class with you.

for great bbq & a hunky barbe-cutie (aka Michael James) **you da you da**

and for date nights that end here.

here's to holding onto the beauty in the midst of the crazy. praise the Lord a break is on the horizon!
