49-59

it's really okay if

i didn't write a creative post today

i don't dust before bed tonight

i don't cook a big dinner

i watch television instead of grading papers

i go to sleep before my children

but

it is not okay

for me to ignore the invitation

to gratefulness

and for these i am thankful

49. my mother-in-law. happy birthday, nana!

50. my soon-to-be-four-years-old nephew
51. hand-me-down day for the nephew (photo)
52. the inspite-of kind of love
53. my girl's list of thankfuls
54. heavy covers
55. scrabble on the kindle
56. rosebud salve
57. my friend's new granddaughter
58. the worn place on my kitchen floor
      where i stand to cook
59. my husband, who serves


and linking up!
