Love Book.

a grateful heart is a happy heart.

 

A few years ago I found myself sizing up the needs and wants in my life and found myself falling short on the "I'm glad I have-s".  I decided it was time to start keeping a Love Book.

My love book is a list of things I love.  I try to write in it everyday and list at least 5 things I love about the day.  I was glancing back in it today and decided to post an excerpt here:

 

June 7, 2009

 

*I love.  All of the tiger lilies and wildflowers that seem to grow randomly all down the sides of the interstate here in South Carolina.

 *I love.  Gracie's hugs in the morning when she's so happy to see that I'm awake.

 *I love. How clean the house was when we left this morning.

 *I love.  Miriam's sweet little features on her face and her tender self.  She seems so vulnerable when she's home and so brave when she's out in public.

 *I love.  The Fuji Apple Chicken Salad at Panera.  It has the perfect blend of favors and crisp apple chips.  Yum!

 *I love.  My life.

 

Sometimes I write more than five. :)

 

happy. LIFE.

Davina, thanks for sharing. I think the love book is a great idea. I am starting today to list (at least) 3 things every morning. The book will be a good place for me to reflect and remind myself about these things.... (when life gets a bit hectic and during times of feeling a bit down) I really appreciate you Davina. You are a great mom and a wonderful wife to my son. I love you.
Mom
