Because there were so many sweet ones…
431. thankful for a break in the rain…

432. getting over (at least on that day) my tendency to give up too easily when things are looking like they may not work out

433. taking a chance, and taking a day trip, rain or no rain (my sweet children were so eager to go, they cheered me on- “Just bring a hat and a coat, mom!”)

434. shaking off social anxiety for the day and just enjoying time with friends

435. the taste of fresh from the field strawberries, a sweet summertime treat that just cannot be recreated with store-bought berries…

436. seeing the camel at the farm around the corner, I don’t know what it is about that camel, but just seeing a camel (not in a zoo!) on a Minnesota farm makes me smile (I may even have giggled)

437. a low-stress and laid-back visit with my in-laws for the day on Saturday

438. a weekend without Benedryl

439. personal struggles that push me closer to Him, that grow me from the inside out, that teach me that happiness is not the goal, holiness is…

440. quiet times that are so much more than quiet

Beautiful list! Love that reminder that “happiness is not the goal, holiness is…” And now you’re making me crave strawberries!!

I love that reminder too, and I need to remind myself of it often…
