Gratitude: The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness
When I started Friday Favorite Things last February it was an intentional way for me to step back and express gratitude for the things in my life. It was within weeks of my son Samuel’s Celiac Disease and I truly was feeling overwhelmed with life and knew I needed to look at the good in the everyday. When it started it was just something that I was doing on my blog – and after a couple of times and many sweet mentions of opening it up to make it a feature I did. And now, here it is, friday favorite things in it’s 71st week. I am so blessed by the community that has formed and the weeks and weeks and weeks of gratitude that has been expressed. Humbled. Grateful. And thankful.
Here are this week’s favorite things:
words
left on the chalkboard
by my Hannah
before she left for Texas
loved them
flight tracker
{this is amazing}
I just might have watched it
for the entire flight home for Hannah.
And let everyone know that she was 39000 feet in the air
travelling at 510 mph.
Ackk – be still my mother’s heart!
samuel
reading books
and sitting at the table
sigh
where did my little boy go?
richard scarry
no other words needed
except
love his books.
dove
make sure to come back later today
as I’m doing a review of
Dove’s Body Wash
{seriously}
and there’s a great giveaway to go along with it.
backyard in the summer
chloe helped out
and watched samuel play out in the yard
{love my growing garden}
{love my growing garden}
while I quickly made dinner.
fencing
or a sword fights
two brothers
on a late july afternoon
summer jousting away.
clouds reflecting in sunglasses
ah memories
of the first morning back from
our first weekend of vacation
they’re like dreams now.

We love Richard Scarry books too! 🙂
I’m going to have to check out the flight tracking website! My daughter is getting ready to go to Italy on a mission trip in September and I will be anxiously tracking her progress! 🙂
Did you know there is an app like that flight tracker for your phone? Very cool! Love your posts!
