Today's favorite moments included . . .
. . . my three big kids all preparing birthday gifts for Todd of their own accord. Daniel and Anna each gave him something from their Halloween stashes, and Joy drew him some pictures of things he likes (i.e. numbers, a train, and his stuffed doggy). The numbers she drew were among his favorite birthday gifts today.
And another thing . . .
. . . lately I've been feeling that I need to work on being more grateful. I live a very blessed life, even by American standards, but I appreciate so little of it and am too quick to focus on the little things I wish I could change. I'm setting a goal to post in this blog daily for the rest of this month (and possibly beyond) to write at least one thing I'm grateful for each day.
. . . when I opened this blog tonight, I realized that I promised a month ago that I would tell you whether I found a chestnut smoothie recipe that was any good, then I never reported back on that. I know you've all been anxiously awaiting my verdict so let me just say that blending roasted, shelled chestnuts with pears, bananas, and some water makes a pretty good smoothie, but not so great that I'm not going to run out and buy more chestnuts any time soon.
