gratitude.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. ~G.K. Chesterton

i've been inspired by the beautiful posts i've seen as of late - expressing thanks & gratitude for the every day things.

my mom told me once that gratitude actually eliminates some of the negative & toxic chemicals in our body. like some beautiful, chemical reaction occurs when we say, 'thank you'. i don't know the facts backing that one up, but i like it anyway.

today, i am so thankful for:
coming home to a loving husband - open arms, chamomile tea, and a neck massage.
finishing all of my homework ahead of time.
a free lunch.
a beautiful, beautiful, unseasonably warm fall day.
happy, hard-working kids at school.
opportunity.
