Tired

As I write this, Jim is working at cleaning up the bathroom-it's almost done, and looks wonderful!! He just has to seal it and then we'll be ready to actually shower in it. Poor guy is exhausted from all the work, on top of his job and helping some friends, but I think it's a good tired. The kind of tired that comes from accomplishing things and working with your hands. I told him tonight his hands looked very "rugged", I suppose it is from all the tiling and cutting and grouting he's been doing. I kind of like it. Me? I'm just tired from pregnancy, although I suppose having a child grow in my body is pretty hard work too. That, and it has been a long week at work. Praise the Lord for His grace, however, in the midst of chaos He's provided peace and a sense of calm.

#31: rugged hands of my husband that visibly show the care and effort he's put into his work

#32: a cooling breeze after a short rain

#33: the sound of birds chirping outside an office window, reminding me that there is a lot more to life than just what goes on within those walls

#34: birds in our birdbath, on time, every day (if you're wondering bath time is apparently around 5:45 pm)

#35: Wednesday date nights

#36: exploring our downtown a little more through a peaceful evening walk

#36: friendships that allow just stopping in and staying to help

#37: the current sound of running water in our bathtub!

#38: our new chair, providing a place to prop up swollen feet

#39: going through pregnancy with a good friend

#40: transparency. Living life with others.

I soon shall be off to soak in a nice bath...goodnight.
