Monday Thoughts

These past few Mondays I knew what I was going to write about. I had it all figured out. I just needed to come here put my thoughts together to form a post. Today, however, I'm not sure what to write. I don't have a plan. So, I guess I'll just begin to write and see what comes of it.

Some days seem to fly by, others seem to slowly move on, but today went by at a in-between pace that felt just right. It was different sort of Monday. We (my brothers, sisters, mom, and I) were all very tired after the weekend, so, we slept in. But, despite the fact that we slept in, I feel like I had plenty of time to finish my studies. I even had time to do some extra things, like read and attend my sister's karate class that was held in our living room. 

There are so many things to be thankful for every single day. It's the simple things that make a seemingly ordinary day, special.

I'm thankful for getting needed sleep; for the time I had to read God's word this morning, for the beautiful warm weather. I'm thankful that God answered my prayer and helped me to understand my math. I'm thankful for the lovely soundtracks ( Miss Potter, and Little Women) I listened to that made math more interesting. I'm thankful for the time I had to do some extra things; for being able to do karate with my sister. I'm thankful for the comforting baked potatoes I ate for dinner; for my family, my sweet, loving, encouraging family who give me joy every single day; for the quietness of this evening; and for the time I have to write this.

Today I'm linking up with Miscellany Monday

What are you thankful for today? Let's see how many thankful hearts we can cultivate.


Much love and many blessings!
