This week, I’m writing about some of the
more unexplainable things in life
that have left me feeling thankful, such as…
* the power of a smile.
* the happiness in hearing a truly distinct
accent that’s native to your home.
* the effect a smiley face sticker can have
on a child’s behavior.
* the hope felt in clinging to a promise
that hasn’t yet been fulfilled because you know it will at some point.
* the instant mood lifter sometimes caused
by putting on something “pretty.”
* the excitement over a plan coming
together.
* the joy/pride for your brother & sister-in-law
for hearing their daughter’s first word.
* the rush felt upon completing a workout
video, even though said video kicks your tail.
* the helplessness felt over not being the
perfect teacher that can help every single situation with a child. You know…the
perfect teacher you dream of being.
And then 2 food related things that would
fall into this category are…
* the deliciousness of the French onion soup
packet I found in the store the other day.
* the deliciousness of a milk chocolate
candy bar with PECANS (yes, pecans!)
in it. FYI – Pecans are awesomeness in the form of a nut. They’re definitely a
big staple in Alabama baking and I love them. They’re not so common here in
Dakar, so it was definitely a treat finding this candy bar! And I’ve been
savoring it slowly, only allowing myself a small square of it each night. So,
go me keeping with my diet plan :)
