grace in the small things… it’s never a bad idea to look for things to be thankful for in our daily lives.

as oxford english dictionary defines “grace” — elegance of movement; courteous good will; attractice qualities or behavior; the free and unearned favour of God; a short prayer of thanks. [all great things!]

today, i am thankful for…

 

• a healthy body that allows me to walk, run, ride my bike, go to yoga, & enjoy lots of outdoor activities
• trips with friends, moms, & dads (camping!  oregon!  caribbean cruise!)
• my african violet that always stretches over to the window to reach for the sun & continues to bloom cheery little purple blossoms every few weeks
• unusually warm weather in san francisco
• margaritas! chips & salsa!
• good books & a great local bookstore (browser books, on fillmore)
• fresh-squeezed, homemade lemonade
• real simple magazine
• iced coffee with 1/2 & 1/2
• sweet boyfriends

also, another reason to love my name: “anna” means graceful one.
