Littles

Grading essays
Playing mountain lion
Watching Heidi
Cooking tuna casserole
Joy, Gentleness, Lack of Anxiety (sorting through anything that doesn't fall in these categories)
Coffee and cookies and praying with friends while Nora attempts to rock out to the Disney channel
Rose-scented candle
Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"
A pile of pillows in the middle of the living room
A Bible story book called The Story of God's Love 
Letting myself be as disappointed in myself as I need to be and then letting it go because that's just a mirror you end up staring in while other people need your help
Painting spots on Nora's blue spotted puppy dog Halloween costume
Excited that Grandma Aanonson will be here soon
Broke a string on my guitar.  Rock.
"I'll Fly Away" and praying in the Bandshell (a good memory)
Birds perched on the milo growing out in the flower bed, the milo bending and swaying under their weight
Wishing the night wouldn't end so soon
A message written in the sand

  1. Breaking guitar strings only means you've been playing, with passion. It's an upsetting thing, but the result of something beautiful. <3

  2. Which version of "Heidi" was it? I had the Shirley Temple one as a child. Love the book, as well. :)

    This is all so good. So blessed. Amazing. ;)
