Plans Shmans

I had such a great plan today, even had a back up plan to my plan. Wanna take a guess at what didn't happen today? Yep. My plan. Even as I began to see the plan unraveling this morning at 7:30 I stopped to stay, "I am thankful that I have a family that 'wrecks' my 'perfect plans.'" The day got more and more funny as it progressed as if the God of the universe was giving me every chance to choose thankfulness and letting go of my plans.

Tonight as I listen to my son move and wiggle with his daddy I am reminded of good things. Great emails. One from an old student that made me thankful that I lived in a dorm for 3 years in my late 20's. Another email from a friend that said just the right words at just the right time. Getting late to my friend's appointment (because of said plans not happening) but walking into hear that everything was A OKAY. Perfectly timed phone call from Sea Jay. Watching Scrubs with my husband on a rainy day. Finding my most favorite gift that Sam ever gave me after realizing today I had lost it: My Charm City/Ace of Cakes hoodie that Sam figured out how to get to NZ from the States. As modeled below.

Cooking dinner with my family. And Max thinking, once again, that he's bigger than he is while he helps Daddy cook dinner.



And having a wiggling, non stop moving, always active baby boy on my lap while I capture my thankful moments for today.
