Here are some of the things that I am thankful for on this Tuesday . . .
- Cozy Cookies with a hot drink. The boys had a stroopwafel with a mint tea this morning, then asked me to get more because now we are out. It makes for a fun treat. I had a Nonni’s Pumpkin Spice biscotti with a cup of coffee this morning.
2. Great new books! Mr. Man is excited about the release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Party Pooper, which was released today! It is the the 20th Wimpy Kid book. I like that he is so excited about reading it. Also this past weekend at the library I found We Can Do Hard Things by Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach and Amanda Doyle on the new books shelf at my library. I am a fan of Glennon Doyle I had been waiting to read this book. It came out in May but this Saturday was the first time that I saw it on the shelf, so I took it as a sign that it was time for me to read it.
3. Intuition. On my trip to Laurel Hill earlier this month, I saw this free standing box that looks like a Little Free Library but I think was built to house a nature exhibit. On it is painted a Richard Scarry picture from the cover of the book I Am A Bunny. My photo is of poor quality, but I loved seeing it painted there, I thought that the person who copied the picture did a very good job. I had a Richard Scarry book that I loved as a child. Then I was this mushroom in the same general area. I took pictures of both of them. I don’t know why I took a picture of the mushroom but something about it was remarkable to me. Now, that I have been home for a week, the picture of the bunny from the book feels like a sign. I am thankful today for my internal compass where if I stop and listen hard enough, it points me to in the direction I should be moving in next.
