365 Things.

The hardest part of this project is sorting through the daily endowment of blessings to find the one that inspired me most.  Although I don't write daily, the gift I do highlight is a compilation of 365 different blessings not necessarily in any order.  All the blessings are good gifts and remind me of my greatest blessing, His grace and compassion, His love.

29. Everything about where I live

My house is old. Our street is a go-to street for commuters and school taxiing, so it's constantly buzzing. My daughter has to sacrifice flying to visit her dad often missing school events and a partial social life here and there. 

But I recognize that I live in heaven and love it. My tasks revolve around my children, and I get to do them in the perfect weather every day. Although I love small towns and grew up in one, and I live in a town with more than 200,000 people, the community here feels like a small town to me. 

At school, soccer, baseball, church, I find everyone familiar and friendly. I am also finding I am happier day in and day out. I want to settle here. Commit to doing whatever it takes to stay and live in this piece of heaven. Not necessarily this house, but a house on this street or the street down the street.

Maybe Dave will move here to be near Makayla and share this beautiful place with us. Maybe the universe says YES.
