Finally... A New Post!

I'm here, and I am still finding so many, many things each day to be grateful for in my life. I just have been slack about posting this month...

For example, the weather this weekend is incredible and such a blessing. I swear I have that seasonal affective disorder. I can't stand winter or gray skies or lack of sunshine. It seriously depresses me. But this weekend is as perfect as they come. WOW.

I am also grateful for my kiddos who have been such an asset as we have spent the last two Saturday mornings/afternoons cleaning feveriously for potential buyers to come and see our house. There is no way we could keep the house this clean if they were not so much bigger and motivated to help... I don't know who wants to move more... the kiddos or Daddy H and I! They are so excited to live at the beach!

Finally, I am grateful for the many close friendships I have made since I have been living here. I know I will write more about this as the months go on, but I need to say at least this... Living at the beach is our dream, and it is about to come true... which is unimaginable to Daddy H and myself... However, for me, living without my friends that have become such an integral and important part of my every day life is also unimaginable. I can't honestly even imagine what it will be like to be so far away from some of them. I know I have tried to put it out of my mind for the fact that it is tender, bittersweet subject, but the time is soon approaching when I'll have to face it. For now, I am grateful for the time we have left together.

So, what are you grateful for this Sunday afternoon?
