Just Breathe

Another week.
Another Monday.

How quickly the time passes.
How quickly life flies by.

And I am seeking,
in the midst of it all,
to just breathe and observe and enjoy
and take it all in.

These are the moments we have
been graciously given.
They come from the loving hand of
our Heavenly Father.
We are sustained by the Word of HIS power.

Numbering our thanks is one of
the ways in which we can give HIM praise.
And so, I continue to count...

1371. Leftovers...yaay!

1372. Emma's point-and-shoot camera
purchase...she saved and saved and saved ~
Another photographer in the family. :)

1373. Getting through the border
without paying duty many, many, many times.

1374. South of the border shopping ~
A Blessing!

1375. Nut Bars ~ I *so* enjoy them!
Almost makes up for the lack of chocolate. :)

1376. Friendly "hellos" and "good mornings"
on the beach walk ~ so many *regulars*

1377. Bunny on the beach ~ a rare sight.

1378. Thankful that the children
are all well enough to jog the 3 mile stretch

1379. Laughter

1380. The privilege to vote

1381. Emma did a big *clear out* of
her room...what a blessing!
(Thank you to Rebecca and Rebecca's Mum
for graciously receiving some of the
things she cleared out!)

1382. Tide out, windy, blue skies,
white puffy clouds for a morning
beach walk...oh how it clears the cobwebs! :)

1383. Cotton balls for my ears on a windy day

1384. Watching all four children jog together ~
when did Emma get big enough for that?!

It's easy to count.
It begins with noticing the *little* things.
Noticing the moments.
Entering into them and writing them down.
It's as simple as that.

My journal sits on my counter.

I list as events unfold.
Sometimes many all at once,
and other times in a trickle.

Would you like to begin?
Just grab a pen and a journal,
set them out on the counter,
and list out your blessings.
Find the joy in the moments ~
As they arrive.

Enjoy the journey!

Many Blessings,
Camille
