Moments

For the last couple of days I have had some random moments of gratitude. I don't know where these moments came from but it started me thinking of the many blessings I enjoy but often just take for granted. For example, I was vacuuming yesterday and found myself feeling thankful (don't laugh) for my thumbs. There are so many things I do everyday that would be so difficult without the use of thumbs and I really was thankful to have all my digits! Then, a little while later Tyler and I were having a conversation about someone we know who has diabetes and all the struggles he's going through and I realized I've never had any real health problems. I don't get sick often, and I only go to the hospital to have a baby (and no, I'm NOT pregnant). The other "moment" I had was watching my kids play together and laugh, and knowing that that sound was one of the sweetest I've ever heard. I really have to appreciate that now because when they are older it will be sounds of fighting and arguing (I remember so well the fights I had with my siblings). So for now, I am so thankful for the small seemingly insignificant blessings that surround me every day.
