File Under Grace in Small Things

Things are much, much improved this week. Last week was crisis after crisis, confrontation after confrontation. This week, the much welcome calm after the storm.

Also the following:

  • Trev and I are finally feeling the urge to pick up paintbrushes and commit to our home by giving it a little make over. We might even unpack more boxes! Put up pictures! Invite people over! Stay tuned.
  • We are both jobless in the near future (today is Trev's first day 'of leisure'), but we're actually feeling hopeful. This, too, shall pass.
  • In the last couple of days, I've started to feel the baby. I mean, really feel it. Actual kicks. It's kind of exciting.
  • Charlie took off after a rabbit last night. She ran her ass off and didn't even come close (if Charlie's fast, the jack rabbits around here are warp speed). But you have to understand that after five months of forcing her to be virtually home bound, to see her run like the dog she is was absolutely soul-lifting.

6X365 Grace In Small Things

1. The heavy, warm weight of the cat against my legs on a particularly cold night.

2. The sound of the dog snoring.

3. The way the cat sits across from me at breakfast, only his ears and eyes visible over the table.

4. The way the dog rips through the fresh snow like she's trying to take in every part of it.

5. The sound of Trevor coming home.
