It's the Little Things

...like listening to the cicadas chirping in the evening after a storm.
...having a piano student say, "I just love piano lessons. They're so fun!"
...hearing the birds twittering before the sun comes up.
...ordering a Gordita Crunch and a drink from Taco Bell ... and getting the drink free. (And finding out after I got home that they also gave me free cinnamon twists!)
...waking up to the sun shining in the window.

...an unexpected house-warming gift with items that I needed:

...fun Goodwill finds (a matching coca-cola pitcher and platter):

-packages from England! Mom sent me these pretty linens ... I love the daisies on them. There were also chocolate buttons and orange chocolate balls. I'm still enjoying the chocolate and making it last as long as possible!

...iceskating with friends (the girl and boy on the right are two of my piano students):

Grandpa put new carpet in my cabin on Wednesday. It's more of a blueish gray instead of the green color it used to be. It looks really nice and I'm so thankful for a grandpa who tries to make everything just right for me :)

Two weeks ago was my church's missions conference. The children in King's Kids made a poster for each missionary and hung them on the walls in the hallway. I loved seeing the one for our family.

"Victoria teaches piano lessons at this school." :)

I'm so thankful for those little things that just brighten up my day! Have you had any little blessings lately?
