Love Where You Are

Stolen from the Facebook album of a friend...

I'm going to do what it says today and love where I am.
Things that make me love my life right now:
my roommate's couch
the grace and mercy of God
consistent workouts
consistent bowel movements
the people I work with
the people I hang with
the ample time I have to read
the upcoming visit of my parents and cousin
well-told stories
crazy dreams
Halloween costumes
Georgjetta (my car)
remembering God's truths



What about you? What do you love about where and who you are right now?

  1. First of all, I LOVE that you are grateful for consistent bowel movements. Way too many people don't appreciate consistency in that area. :)

    Currently, I'm grateful for:
    Paint
    My dad
    Green apple slices
    Humor
    British Accents
    Top Gear
    Emergency Kits

  2. I love:
    -that for the first time in my life as a parent, Anna and B are on a schedule, and our whole family is thriving on it!
    -watching B carefully toddle around the house, followed by excruciating-looking (but actually harmless and funny) falls on our hardwood floors.
    -how much Anna loves reading, and that she is starting to not be intimidated by numbers
    -going to the ocean so much with our little family.
    -that we are having company TWICE this week!
    -not working.
    -caring for my family.
    -reading encouraging blogs by the Stuckey girls.
    -talking with Bryan.
    -reading books about Native Americans.

  4. What do I love about where and who I am right now?

    -my job, that it is not sedentary.
    -the kids in my class who love to hug me.
    -having a husband who knows how to treat me perfectly.
    -being in nature.
    -how heavenly it feels around 8:00 in the evening.
    -new whiteboard markers.
    -that my life is full of possibility.
    -how happy D is in his job situation.
    -being excited to go to church on Sundays.
    -having parents who love to be with me, never pressure me and are understanding of my schedule.

    (I wasn't _feeling_ very happy about my life... but after writing this list, I kind of want to weep for joy. Thanks, Jill.)

  5. Oh, and yes, I think consistent bowel movements are far underrated. I am ever grateful for those and my general health.

  8. At first I couldn't think of anything. Going back to work sort of has zapped me... And I'm mourning summer being over, so I was/am in a bit of a funk. Hopefully I'm on the upswing now. This blog post infused my soul with a bit of joy. Can't wait to spend time with my favourite GA family, DCB and The Stuckes. -amie
