This thankful post completely fell into my lap tonight. To be honest, I was thinking about skipping it this week. I have been sick, feeling down, and looking forward. Looking forward is not a good thing for me. I hear it all the time... you should look forward to your next vacation, your next "big" thing. Well I don't like that, I get anxious. I want to enjoy the now.
So as I was finally putting the finishing touched on my 2013 Project Life tonight, I came across this picture. It is one that I looked over while originally printed out pictures. It wasn't anything special. BUT tonight, I looked at it without my blinders on. This is a rare glimpse of my family. Unposed, not bribing anyone, totally loving each other. I almost lost it, right in front of my brand (handmade might I add) desk. Kyle was letting the pups watch as Killy (bearded dragon) got her bath. They are so dumbfounded by her. I couldn't believe I had missed this. I printed about 10 copies in 8x10 and now all of the family is getting a copy.
Tonight, I am thankful for a loving heart. A heart big enough to fit two complete opposite dogs, a man with a love for crazy animals, and anything else that comes our way. Tonight, I am just here. In this place, in this mindset, in love with this.
