Laundry Day

And boy, do I have a mountain of it to do!  It's been a week.  YIKES!  I can definitely be thankful, though for my HUGE washer & dryer that lets me get it all done in the space of a few hours.

#8.  The smell and feel of clothes fresh from the dryer, still warm.
#9.  The way the dog digs in a pile that I'm trying to fold and burrows in to get warm.

#10.  Coffee in the morning...  Drinking it while I watch the reeds in the back yard wave gently back and forth in the breeze.

#11.  Geese.  Noisily flying over my house in their vee formation.

#12.  The majestic bald eagle that lives somewhere nearby that I keep seeing gliding in the wind.  He's SO cool to watch!

I'm going to end today with another quote from Ann Voskamp.  This one's on her blog today: www.aholyexperience.com

Do not disdain the small. The whole of the life—even the hard—is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole.

There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.
