Today I'm grateful for time spent with nieces and nephews. Tonight I babysat Cora Mae, my almost three year old niece. We laughed, played, and watched Pooh. My favorite, most precious moments, were spent with her cuddled up next to me as we watched Pooh Bear. I noticed when I said, "Oh no", she said…

Today I'm grateful for overnight visitors in the middle of the week. Sometimes a surprise conversation, heartfelt talk, or just a hug is all it takes for me to know, "It's all going to be okay."

Today I'm feeling grateful for family. When someone asks me about my family- I always pause before responding. Not because I don't want to share, but because it's an important question to me.

Today I'm feeling grateful for file folders. Manila, various colors, legal size, and regular letter size.

There's something incredibly satisfying about feeling organized and having everything in it's own place. Sometimes the little things…
