Weekly Thanksgivings

For Nana, who is here this week while T studies at his review,

for a renter and a lease signed and off the list,

for playdates, park picnics and walks around the block with three munchkins in tow,

for weather so nice we can eat at a table outside,

for Baby Bear, who slept while I ate,

for MoMo and Papa, to whom E-Bear and G-Bear will sprint down the street when they see them from afar.

for my T, who knows just when I need a hug, a kiss, and a patient, knowing smile,

for G-Bear, who stretches me one minute and makes me burst with love and pride the moments before and after,

for E-Bear, whose sharing and sweetness blow me away,

Lord, I have many things to thank you for this week, and today is only Tuesday.
