Normally I wouldn’t combine posts like this, but I’m planning several days on the topic of infertility starting Monday, and I don’t want to neglect my newfound commitment to searching for the gratitude moments in life. So I’m going to combine that into my Sunday Snippets post today.
Welcome to all those coming from Ruth’s Catholic roundup. Posts for this week include:
The aforementioned re-commitment to searching for thankfulness in every moment, and another post, in which I can’t decide whether I have a stand-up-comic or a saint in training. Why don’t you check it out and give me your opinion? 🙂
Gratitudes for this week:
Homemade pizza, in preparation as I type on a Saturday afternoon
Hope, even if it did turn out to be misplaced
14 1/2 months without a hospital stay…and counting
A quiet retreat to my room to work, and the Heavenly artwork displayed on the wall via an open window, a sunny afternoon, and a shiny book cover lying on the bed:
Twentyish pages of a manuscript churned out despite snow days
Honey bears and play dates and homemade soup
Nicholas’s exploding vocabulary: “baby” and “mama” and “dada” and “wa-wa” and “peeeeeee” (please) and a couple others that are escaping my brain right now
Oh yes, sledding…as in this:
And this:
(that's Alex right in the foreground)
And this:
(J's glasses left at home to avoid loss of property)
And this:
(Not so thrilled, but awfully cute in his pink and black boots, which his big sister never wore...)
Not to mention the fact that we live in such luxury that cold and snow gives us an opportunity for recreation, instead of threatening our continued existence…
Did I mention thank you for homemade pizza?
Shhh…. don’t tell anyone but my boys have worn pink snow pants. Sometimes you use what you have 🙂
I’m calling the child abuse police on you….
I’m thankful that you reminded me to be thankful!!
Your “Heavenly artwork” is beautiful.
Love those pictures!
I’ve never thought of sunlight patterns as “heavenly artwork,” but I love that perspective.
