I am thankful for little things.
Yesterday was a busy day. Besides yard work, errands, and laundry, we were getting ready for a birthday dinner we were having for my sister. Throw in a bad cold and it was turning out to be a rather tedious day.
In the afternoon while I was folding laundry, my son called me to the back deck where he showed me a praying mantis on the railing. It seemed to be enjoying the sunny spot it found on the cool day. We saw praying mantes frequently at our old house, but this was the first one I had seen in our yard since we moved.
Finding that small wonder of nature made me happy. Sometimes it's the little things that can bring a smile to my face and for that, I am thankful.
