This week, I feel kind of overwhelmed with gratitude. Things seem to be stacking up nicely right now. Nothing epic, just small, tender mercies that are making life even more enjoyable. I feel like this week's list could go on and on and I still wouldn't touch on everything. So here are just a few of them.
I am deeply, deeply grateful for my husband. He's been smiling a lot these past few days, which makes everything more enjoyable. His eyes dance with mirth and the purest joy. It's infectiously glorious. And to have just celebrated our first year of marriage together is even more wonderful. He really is my best friend and every day I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
I am grateful for kindred spirits, who I have at long last found on this island. Two wonderful women who have befriended me and allow me to share in their lives. They are absolutely delightful and it seems unfathomable already that I only met them a few weeks ago.
I am grateful for the written word, and in particular, the works of Lucy Maud Montgomery. I have been devouring the Anne books at an alarming rate and feel more light-hearted with every page turn.
I am in love with nature. The sea, the sun. Poppies blooming. Yellow wildflowers. Fresh strawberries. All of it is beautiful and refreshing.
I am thankful to laugh daily. Not just little chuckles, but make-my-face-hurt-from-smiling rolls of laughter.
Lastly, I am grateful for family. Mr. F and I have been deeply blessed with amazing parents and the coolest siblings anyone could ask for. We wish we were closer to them, but technology makes the distance so much more bearable.
