Later on the day of this conversation, Aaron and I were chatting after the girls had gone to sleep. Even though each of us occasionally gets a case of the “wants,” I realized not long ago that I have everything I ever wanted. And even though I’ve been feeling pretty miserable for the past few months, I also have never been happier, so it’s a weird dichotomy. Talking about our many blessings (as well as recent warmth and sunny days) has really helped my mood.
Every night when I say my prayers, I recount the things I am thankful for:
A beautiful, healthy family.
More than adequate shelter.
More than adequate food.
Good, stable jobs.
Lots and lots of love.
Seriously, what more could I ask for?
(Unrelated adorable baby picture: guess who has found her feet?

I'm one of those people, too -- the work-to-live ones. I've always said that life is what happens outside of work, and I really do think that's true.
I think this is a really sweet post, Jessie. You certainly do have a lot to be thankful for! And if my feet were that cute, well, I think I'd be desperate to put them in my mouth too!
