gratitude notes. #fridayfaves

friday is about being grateful
seeing the little things
remembering to breathe
finding joy

write yours. link up below.

dear almost 100 year old piano
I am so grateful for the memories
and hours of time that I am blessed to sit at you and play
Mozart, Beethoven, and more.
Love the history and the music.

with your freckly freckly face

I just love you so much 

and how you love to tell me that 

and then give me a hug and kiss.

Thanks for the hours and hours and hours

of play that you provide my kids

but, I really really really dislike stepping on you

and finding bricks everywhere.

at least you were large 

and not teeny lego scattered about

but as I wrote on this post

I would rather be thankful for the hands that played with them then get frustrated over the mess.

thank you so much for letting me review your book

dear simple things
like candle and coobooks on my table
thank you for blessing my moments
with bits of stillness and peace
in the midst of the busy.

dear udi’s gluten free

and for being an excellent company.
