~for five new transitional deacons in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
~for kind emails that lift my spirits and help me forget about the little struggles of life
~for Judy, my very understanding friend who forgives me for forgetting to attend her party in celebration of one year passing since her major spinal surgery (I really must be going senile to have forgotten to attend that!)
~for the chance to shake my thing with my daughter at a family Zumba class (read: a chance to make a fool of myself!) and hear the instructor praise her for how expertly she dances
~for His Passion and Palms and Holy Week
~for Sunday Mass at the gorgeous and breathtaking St. Joseph's Convent
~for melted snow and breaking sun
~for the blessed relief when a headache clears away
~for elliptical machines at the YMCA that have televisions attached so I can watch EWTN and be spiritually uplifted while I work out-it's a real treat for this girl who doesn't have cable and never gets to watch this fine programming!
~for spring cleaning and a freshly painted kitchen and staircase
~for the knowledge that I am loved
There! I feel much better!!!
Joining Ann Voskamp in gratitude for all of these things and so much more!
