a thousand thanks.

a thousand thanks. in twenty-twelve.

here

we

go.

i am grateful for…

{1} the abundant sunshine + blue skies promenading the last few weeks, and it's only february, right? i think the two are having a torrid love affair.

{2} the first sip of coffee. my hands cupped around a steaming mug, absorbing the emanating warmth. it is a ritual i always, always look forward to…

{3} the way my lovelies eyes can't help but twinkle. and when i see all four mega-watts upon me, an irresistible smile bursts forth. 

{4} how easily my mister's face eases into the most engaging smile. ever.

{5} the ability to create order from chaos, especially in the peskiest of places.
