I know I’m off on the numbering now! Good thing this isn’t a competition I very much enjoy my nightly ritual of thinking of  my five things. I find that even on the most frustrating of days I can find five things though realistically some keep reoccurring. Like toast. Yes the simple warmth and comfort of a piece of toast often lifts my day.

Grace in Small Things #71

1. A day of shoe shopping with the boys who were both patient and cheerful through SIX stores.

2. Online shoe retailers that make my feet happy when the physical stores don’t have what I want.

3. Jr. finding books I’ve gotten for next year and snatching them up to read/look through.

4. Leaf piles that stay put even when the wind is howling. Thank you small rain shower!

5. Chocolate covered almonds
