Thankful for a little quiet time Saturday morning so I can write my Friday Thankful for piece!
I shared a dinner last night for a friends Birthday just us Mom's and our kids. My favorite place to share is in the kitchen making and tasting good things. We had a simple cake,she blew the candles, the kids laughed and played the evening away. Good times.
Friends are the family we choose, and like family,
the ties that bind ebb and flow. People move, children grow and friendships fade and new ones begin. Several close friends moved far away in the past two years (Alberta,England and California), and countless new ones enter, as I begin a new season of life with my little man.
My Daughter's school shares a verse I've come to value:
'Make New Friends and Keep the Old, One is Silver and the Other Gold.'
A new cooking group has formed and we enjoy fellowship as we assemble meals for our families , finding a comfort in an activity that past generations experienced, trying to put a little of the village back into our busy lives. I am thankful for these ladies.
A new practitioner of Yoga shared with our Thursday Mom's group and opened the door for Mom's who had never experienced the tranquility of movement and those of us who long to make it part of our lives again. I am thankful for her.
Three generations of females in my family experienced an amazing fashion show of talented young designers and a night out we all craved, I am thankful for that.
As I dwell more on events of the past week or so I could go on and on, some have meaning only to me, and I will hold them in my heart. I am thankful others started this practice so I could join in on being thoughtful and thankful.
Thank-you for taking the time to read my words of Thankful!
