“The whole of the life -- even the hard -- is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.”
-Anne Voskamp
This Thanksgiving was beautiful.
It was full of those simple little pleasures.
an anthology from a-z of things I'm thankful for (linking up to Hannah Nicole).
apples that crunch when you bite them, art that makes me happy, animals
blinking lights that are wrapped around porches, warm bread that my mom makes, books.
candles that flicker in the cozy evenings, carols, christmastime.
my dad, our dog madeline, dancing, dreams
eating leftovers for a week, ears to hear pretty music, my brother elijah, embers from the bonfir
my niece faith, friends that make life beautiful.
the golden hour.
hats that keep your ears warm, holly that makes me think of Christmas, handwritten letters
ice cream.
my sister Jessica
kind thoughts and words and actions.
love.
my mom, music, memories
new socks
open books inviting me to read their pages.
pinterest and the lovely ideas that it inspires.
quiet.
rain, reading, running.
my sister Sarah, smiles, songs
tea.
time to be busy. time to breathe. time to love. time to live.
time.
understanding.
visions of sugarplums.
wonder.
x - I can't think of anything that starts with x :)
the color yellow. the years of my life.
zero school for the past week.

ReplyDeleteI just love this. These are the things that we all should be thankful for. The little things in life, from the lights on a christmas tree to being with family on thanksgiving.
