smile weather :)

So you know about that "I feel like I could smile all day long and everything is so...wonderful and happy and I just love Spring" type feeling? Ya, that's the feeling I've had ever since the sunshine and warm breezes came back :D I guess it just makes me realize how thankful I am for the life I've been blessed with and the people who are such a blessing to me...

I step outside and feel like singing!

I'm thankful for laughter, silly or not...it's wonderful. :D
I'm thankful for those people who make me smile always :)
I'm thankful for my eyes that need to squint 'cause the sun's to bright to open them wide. :)
I'm thankful for my ears that listen to my baby brother babbling away while we're having devotions at breakfast, because he forgot that he's actually supposed to be quiet and listen ;)
I'm thankful for my mouth (well...you get what I mean :P) that just feels like singing when the sun's shining, (or when I'm sitting at the kitchen table during meal times and I forget that that's actually against the rules. ;)
I'm thankful for my hands that can throw Cheryl's new shoes into the pond :D (only cause she said I should try out for the Peewee baseball team, due to my skill in throwing and skipping stones :P)
I'm thankful for the freedom of bare feet! ;)
I'm thankful for my sisters...even when they always nag me to borrow clothes, or use my hats, or go on Photo Booth on my laptop, or jump on me when I'm tryin to sleep, or run away with William as soon as I walk into the room so I can't hold him :P, and make fun of my machine gun laugh. I really love them. :D

My list could go on forever!..I guess my point is, take some time to be thankful...specifically thankful :) You might be there for awhile, but trust me..it's worth it. :)

We have such an awesome God!
