Simply Ten in the midst of Moving

A list of simply ten. Ten things of the here and now to help live in the moment and be grateful for it.

1) a late (second) breakfast for little girls with wet little heads from bath time

2)pancakes made from scratched and frozen for convenience at times like now

3) boxes stacked high that are so much more than just boxes

4) a very good man that painstakingly takes apart a very large wooden swing set that he painstakingly put together a year ago, only to painstakingly put it back together in a new backyard....without complaint

5) two little girls that love to sing and dance along with Annie

6) a moment taken away from 18 billion things on the to do list to sit and reflect and write...even if only a list

7) awakening before the rest of the house while it's still dark to sit, write, pray, read, and prepare

8) the beauty in dawn as a gift for that early rise

9) footie pj's on little girls that refuse to dress, which is just fine with mama

10) knowing that home is less about rooms and things and more about tickled bellies, smells of homemade bread and cookies, dirty windows, and slow dances in the kitchen after the little ones are in bed
