Today I’m so thankful for good friends. That type of friend that supports your parenting style. The one friend that can walk into your kitchen and be your third and fourth hand. That blessing of a friend that knows what needs to be done before YOU even realize what needs to be done. These are few…and very valuable.

I just bought the first-ever “back-to-school” clothes for my five-year-old daughter.  She helped pick them out from a catalog by putting blue dots next to what she liked.  I am really grateful that she is so excited about kindergarten and I am looking forward to all the fun new experiences we will have!

On Fridays, I become so happy when I read in this Gratitude Journal of what makes others happy.  I want to say, “That is so true.  I have to remember that.”
