1. Scarf in August. This beautiful, colorful scarf my sister gave me on the day before her wedding. I was happy to feel the cool breeze hit my face this morning that allowed me to wear it!
2. The Gathering Place Coffee Mug. For 2 reasons. A. it reminds me of my sweet friends that started The Gathering Place Church in Costa Rica and the work they are doing there to spread The Good News. B. It meant that I was up early with my hubby enjoying a cup of joe before starting our day!
3. The Booti Bear! Look at that cute face... how could you not smile? I love the joy he shows me every time he sees me but especially in the mornings! I love how much he loves his chicken too! :) I have to remind him that it will be waiting inside for him when he comes back from going outside - he would bring it everywhere if he could!
4. Peace Tea. Any Flavor. So Good. Ran in to grab a Smart Water this morning at the gas station and a whole case of these suckers were nice and cold next to the register. I couldn't resist. $.99, 100% natural tea, no artificial flavors, no preservatives, no artificial colors, and 150 calories for the whole can!
5. Sunflowers. I have been growing some sunflowers on my deck in a pot for what seems like forever and finally they started to bloom earlier this week. This morning I came downstairs to find all of them but 1 blown over from the rain last night. It was sad times until Steven said "why don't you cut them and enjoy them in a vase inside!" Genius. The vase is from my sisters wedding. The lace is from my step-mom's wedding dress. The whole situation is just precious and filled with love. I might have stared at it for a while this morning just smiling and looking at it from all angles!
6. Follow Me by David Platt. 1 of 3 books I am currently reading. I smile just knowing that I get to read this book. I love that Steven and I are reading this book together (that makes my heart smile), I love that I am learning every time I open it, and I love that David Platt is doing a simulcast on it next week that I am going to attend.
7. Nora Bora. The cutest little thing ever. We had some me and her time this morning just rolling on the floor! She loves to be touched, held, looked at, anything where she is getting the attention. She sees a free hand and jumps for it! She is excited to go outside every time you ask her... sometimes I just ask her if she wants to go outside so I can see her turn around in circles while jumping in the air. She has skill.
8. Thread Holder. Not sure why this caught my eye this morning while passing my arts & crafts room but it did. I smile when I see it because one of my best friends, Jessica... you might know her by now from all my posts about her, but she gave it to me. For no reason. She just knew that I had always wanted one and one day brought it over. Doesn't any gift for no reason make everyone smile?
Here's to cherishing the little things!
