color me grateful.

This week I'm grateful for:

- spring break.

- LDS General Conference.

- the sweet and overwhelming peace and comfort, despite sadness, that sometimes accompanies the passing away of a loved one. We will love Grampa Boyd forever.

- a day or two where I could glimpse a future that involved sunny skies, warm temps, and outdoor playtime.

- mother-daughter fingernail painting sessions. Or, as my daughter calls it, 'thingernail'.

- digital cameras.

- a husband who, knowing I had several laaaate nights of work, disappeared himself to the grocery store and returned with "provisions" for me. None of which were healthy, all of which were my favorites.

- a 6-year-old son who stays up late, then sneaks out of his room and throws a paper airplane down at me, which, when opened up, reads in careful penmanship (and I quote): "I love with all my heart. When mother's day comes I will by you a speashil Gift. Best wishs." Covered in hearts. And, as I hug and kiss him in thanks, he starts tearing up because he knows he's made me happy. Cutest ever, right?

- being able to clean my house in an hour and a half, when I put my mind to it.

- I put my mind to it.

- toothpaste.

- having a puppy. Having kids who play with the puppy. Having a kid who will clean up the evidence of puppy-ness in the backyard. Dah well. Two out of three ain't bad.

- life in general.

Best wishs. Happy Sunday.
