thursday thoughts

i posted
during the challenge
what i called a

bucket list
of sorts.

in that post

i mentioned that

before my daughter,

son in law and grandson 

move away to be missionaries

in vienna, austria...

i had some 'bucket list'

things i wanted to do

as a family-

today i booked

a weekend get away...

two cabins on the pacific ocean!

exactly

two weeks before they move away

for two years

we will be enjoying 

hot tubs, hikes, beach combing, campfires,

s'mores 

and lots of family memory making...

this mom and granny

is smiling!

~~~

this thursday

has arrived so very quickly-

on quiet footsteps

it moved,

just slid right

up to the door

without a sound-

sneaking right under

the doormat

and crept right in!

may i not take it for granted

but, be happy in this day

and every day that

comes!

oh, let the sun shine in 

and face it with a grin-

open up your heart

and let the sun shine in!

be blessed-
