My dad

I am uber grateful for my dad. He came home today from doing groceries and told us a story about how he got his cart stollen AGAIN! This is something like the fourth time that someone has taken his shopping cart, all at different stores mind you and over the course of the past few months. He is so frustrated that I cannot help but laugh. And when I say laugh I mean LAUGH to the point of crying!!!
Thank you for making me laugh today dad :)

New year: new possibilities

I am grateful for the cheesiness of this blog post title! Normally I don't give much attention to the 'new year' yet something feels different about this one. Not sure what it is but I am grateful to have a "new start"
