A thankful heart is a happy heart

Happy Thanksgiving from Katiebelle! Here she is wearing her fancy holiday outfit.

Yesterday I had one of my routine breakdowns where I call my mother and sister in a fit of “I can’t take this anymore!” (This being trying to work and parent full-time in a 2-bedroom apartment with neighbors who seem to slow-cook broccoli for 8 hours a day). But really, once I release a little of that pent-up stress (and light a Christmas candle) it isn’t hard to remember that there is plenty be thankful for, and I think we all know who tops the gratitude list: our healthy, remarkable baby!

“Gee thanks, Mom. You’re pretty great too.”

This popped into my head yesterday, and I hope it stays there…

A thankful heart is a happy heart!
Be glad for what we have,
That’s an easy way to start!
For the love that He shares,
‘Cause He listens to our prayers,
That’s why we say thanks every day!
