1. I am grateful for getting to watch two beautiful blue jays build a nest while I ate my lunch at the park near work.

2. I am grateful for ordering the yummiest slice of real key lime pie I have ever tasted last night at our anniversary dinner.

3. I am grateful for what the last 3 years of marriage has taught me about what it means to love someone.

4. I am grateful for returning customers.

5. I am grateful for the inside jokes I share with my husband and for making him laugh when I mention one of them.

6. I am grateful for the beautiful, small stretch of road on my drive home from work with trees arching over me on either side and blooming wisteria vines hanging from their branches.

7. I am grateful for the smell of freshly cut grass that is often in the air this time of year.

8. I am grateful for being graced with my first ever blog award, from the lovely Miss Jemima Bean over at Quality Time.

And in the spirit of this post, I pass along the honor to ten of the blogs I am grateful to have found.

So, to Modern Classics, The Red Otter Shop, picciolo, Blaze Danielle, Cicada Daydream, Fog and Thistle, stichado, JLC Studio, Emmaroseart and last, but not least, The Comforter, I declare your blogs to be E for Excellent!
