...someone should have warned me how painful it is when your children grow up and don't need you quite the same anymore.
...I definitely prefer colder weather to hot weather
...The bible really is a good book
...sometimes being stubborn is a good trait
...forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to let them back into your life, it just means you're not holding on to or allowing negative emotions to take a foothold in heart
...loving my children unconditionally comes naturally for me
...my mother always said she wished she never had children, I still don't understand why she felt that way
...I am so thankful that God gave me three wonderful children, who aren't perfect, but bless my life in ways that I could never have known without them
...When I give thanks for having the things and the chores that I do have, I am a happier person
...the holiday season is rapidly approaching and I'm trying not to dread the holidays, but to enjoy and embrace them
...I've been really thinking about some major changes that I need to make in my life
...I'm happiest when I have days/time where nothing is scheduled, things get accomplished, but at a slow relaxed rate
...I'm a better person when I have time to myself in the quiet of the early morning
...I do not feel good when I don't make healthy eating choices
...laughing and smiling are amazing for the soul
...being authentic to oneself can bring a joy that is indescribable
...pumpkin spiced coffee, pumpkin spice candles, and a clean house - ahhhhhh the joys in the little things

I understand so many of these. My children are the best blessing that God has given me...I wanted to be a mom since I was 11 years old.
Quiet time is a must.
Pumpkin anything is pure delight.
A resounding YES from me on almost all your "thinkings". (My Mom never made that statement and really meant it; and I have no trouble being cheerful about the coming holidays - I love them!)
Thanks for reminding me of these little joyful things.
great list. So are you trying to warn me now that it won't be easy when my kids don't need me so much? :P I'm sort of excited for the upcoming holidays. I never used to be. They used to stress me out. I just want to enjoy it this year and keep it simple! And if there if one thing I learned in counseling is that a grateful heart always helps!
great list Suzann, I am excited for the holidays, and I already bought a few little gifts, yipee!! hope you have a great weekend!
