So, I decided to make a 'thankful' garland.
And to display some of the reasons for which I indeed am thankful.
Days when the dog has stolen not only the toilet paper but also some socks {thankfully, they were my husband's}.
Days when someone {my husband} thought it was a good idea to give Grace a pen {thankfully, it wasn't permanent marker}.
Days when crafting has gone terribly wrong {thankfully, tears don't occur very often around here}.
Or nights when my husband snores so loudly I can't fall asleep {fortunately, he is willing to retreat to the sofa, with the dog, on those nights}.
Now, when one of those moments should strike, I can look up and remember to be thankful.
Perhaps I should leave this up all year long.
