{so} thankful

November 22, 2011 by Ami 5 Comments

dirty dishes reminding of the abundance of food

I'm thankful

piles of laundry proving we have clothes

I'm thankful

books needing reshelved after repeated readings

I'm thankful

children interrupting me 

reaching into my space and asking for my time

I'm thankful

because

my boys will grow up

dishes will be done

laundry won't tower

bookshelves will be tidy

and I will have these memories they insist on 

Filed Under: thinking out loud
