"The trouble with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that . . .

. . . it is so difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind." -G.K. Chesterton
I'm thankful for:

1. my 50th post! Not because I've done 50 days of posting but because of it's amazing results.
   
2. forgetting about bible study cancellation because it got us out of the house
   
3. a spontaneous visit with the Hahne's and having lunch taken care of for us
   
4. Christian encouraging Clara
   
5. Clara taking the initiative to put Thomas' clothes away on her own
   
6. an unexpected new place for Thomas' to play. Hurray for laundry baskets!
   
7. catching up with Jennie
   
8. in spite of how challenging it is to cope with Thomas' incessant itching and hives how blessed we are that it is not something worse
   
9. the silliness that abounds in this home!
   
10. Jeff coming home tonight
