Grati-Tuesday: Time and Perspective
This started out as a Facebook status update because a photo popped up in my “memories” this morning. Â But apparently, I felt the need to use all the words, so I figured I’d better just stick them here instead. Â This is it. It’s the very last photo on earth of Ryder with full use […]
Grati-Tuesday: My People
Our world is a tough place to exist, and it’s getting tougher all the time.  When we’re bombarded by news headlines about drought and death, and saturated by media that glorifies  the ol’ sex/drugs/rock ‘n roll trifecta, it’s really, REALLY hard to step out from under the little black raincloud that creeps in and robs us […]
Grati-Tuesday, Starting on Monday
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a gratitude post… too long! Â IÂ know that everyday holds a multitude of things to be thankful for, but admittedly, I’ve been too busy being cranky and overwhelmed to pay much attention. Â Today (Monday), for whatever reason, God is highlighting so many little moments throughout my day I’d […]
Grati-Tuesday: ZZZzzzzz
This might not sound like much to most folks, but I got TWO (non-consecutive) nights of uninterrupted sleep in the last few days. Â It’s amazing the difference this makes on one’s outlook on life in general. Yes, Ryder is four… but he’s terrified of the dark. Â So if he wakes up to pee in the […]
Grati-Tuesday: A Random List
I am blessed beyond measure. Â It shouldn’t take much to find something in my life to be grateful for. Â But sometimes, in the thick of the daily grind, life feels down-right hard. Â (I know, I know – first world problems.) Â The past couple of months have been kinda like that… one bout of illness after […]
Grati-Tuesday: Happy Birthday, My Love!
Today is Ryan’s birthday, and I am grateful for him. He’s the perfect match for me. He supports and encourages my crazy dreams.  He provides for our family.  He loves me even when I’m unlovable.  He’s a godly leader, and a man of great character. He’s a wonderful father. He is firm but loving.  He roughhouses […]
Grati-Tuesday: {On Wednesday… Oops!}
I know, I know… it’s Wednesday. Â But I was too busy reveling in the beauty of life yesterday to care about blogging. Â Ok, so that’s a bit overdramatic, but still… Yesterday started off kinda cranky. Â Even when the kids sleep all night (which isn’t often), I tend not to because I’m so used to be […]
Grati-Tuesday: Back to School & The Bachelor
In an effort to focus on the good things in life (at least once a week… HA!), I’m dedicating one blog post a week to gratitude. Â Thus, “Grati-Tuesday” was born. Today, I’m so grateful for Ryder’s school. Â He is such a social boy, and has been pretty lonely without seeing his school buddies. Â He only […]
