Daily 5 - Day 105

Today's Daily "5":

1. I'm thankful for another night off from cooking, but still getting to eat a tasty homemade meal
2. I'm thankful for insurance coverage that pays for the occasional massage, especially in weeks like this one where the hour of relaxation it provides is truly a blessing
3. I'm thankful that I made it through the day relatively in-tact. There were a lot of moments when I wasn't sure that that was going to happen
4. I'm thankful that every day will not always be this hard.
5. I'm thankful that my heart is slowly in a place of being softened, every so slowly again, for others who are hurting and broken
6. I'm thankful for music and lyrics that move my heart, or simply stir laughter or joy
7. I'm thankful for morning drives to work that are being spent memorizing scripture with the help of an audio bible
8. I'm thankful for the first 10 or 15 minutes each morning when I arrive early at the office, and sit and journal thoughts from the day before, pondering dreams, and plans looking at the day ahead
9. I'm thankful for the various books I've read lately and am reading currently, and for the way they're stirring my heart to new things again.
10. I'm thankful, too, for the renewed desire to read. For the little bit of discipline that is restoring attention span and reminding me again why I have always been moved by the written word.
