A slow start to the morning...........
.........schools delayed for 2 hours..........
.................freshly falling snow.................wet, will be gone by day's end with the warmer temps..........
........................a slow start to the day means time for meditating..........
.......................................counting my blessings towards my 1000 gifts goal..............
not minding that I only made it to 300+ the past calender year......life happens......busy days and busier evenings..........
and summer...ah....summer....that blessed time for me..............
there is no excuse why I can't journal at least 3 blessings per day to get in 1000 in one calender year but why be so rigid??
I like to journal as the time and thoughts allow..........
.................like this morning............
- God's treasures for today include the freshly fallen snow so pretty in my backyard..........and my mind going to the spot in the photo above.....a place I would love to live but my home right now is here in suburbia and the mountains an hour drive north.

- the hugs and smiles of my 14 year old ballerina....so set on getting high marks on her mid-terms at the junior high this week............already well on her way to another report of high honor roll...so thankful for this daughter of mine....this driven, high-achieving, determined young dancer, violinist, student and compassionate friend...lover of musicals, elephants and computer games that involve animals........how I love her so........

- thankful for the oldest daughter and her text that she successfully got another on-campus job with more hours...a dining hall weekend job that will be perfect for her busy academic schedule.......thankful for her high grades, determination, caring of the earth/nature, her friends, her devotion to God......so thankful for this oldest girl who is becoming a wonderful woman..........

- the time to watch the bluebirds at the feeder.....so many with their junco and nuthatch friends.......and the knowledge that God takes care of them like He cares for us.........His eye is on the bird....and on me....so comforting to know He is all-powerful............
loving this slow start to the morning..............
enjoy the day everyone, snow included!!

Slow starts are always a welcome change of pace in our house. Unfortunately for me, it's a rarity. It does give wonderful time though to stop and think of all those treasures God gives us.
Mmmm I love slow starts though I rarely have them. No kids but I do have pets....dogs who need to pee in the morning and cats who are hungry. THEN I sit down and have my "slow" morning :)
