Some things I am thankful for...

This weekend, I spent more time outside, at Tumble weed park and the Desert Botanical Garden. God gave me several gifts:

- seeing a little boy play in a beautiful dust devil, that was mostly leaves, he ran, and rejoiced and delighted in it!
- warm sun, cool air at the park and the DBG
- a roadrunner and lots of quail where we ate lunch
- forgiveness and grace from s and h
- j listening to my heart

Joy Dare - 3 gifts falling

38) temperatures falling over the next few days, below 100 :)
39) "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17
40) stress levels down, thank You, God!
