Last weekend I brought out my Grandmother's knitting needle and sewed together the ends of my forest green scarf. I pulled it over my head immediately, closing my eyes and enjoying the satisfaction of finishing a scarf in time for the rain of November. There are so many things to celebrate this season. Whenever I feel bogged down with school work and other commitments I make a list. A list of thankfulness. That despite the potential sources of worry and concern, that I have a Father who cares about me so abundantly to bless me in big AND small ways.
successful midterms
drinking steaming hot coffee, almost everyday
my guitar and I- quality time song writing
new friends in classes and labs
my moleskine journal that helps keep me organized
my brother blessing me with a new cookbook out of the blue
fancy pizza out with my best friend
phone calls about the future
beautiful encouragement in psalms, 1 samuel and 1 corinthians
conversations with professors
solving a tricky research problem
mom baking peanut butter cookies
an apple cinnamon candle filling the living room with a wonderful aroma
the ability to have big dreams
joel osteen broadcasts
long bath tub soaks
early morning drives with my brother to school, singing to tunes on the radio in (sometimes) harmonious voices
the great british baking show
mugs of tea on repeat
warm slippers
faith and confidence in God's promise that the future holds good things
Much love, Vivi
