Days, months, weeks, and sometimes even years - they all go by us. If we're lucky, we tame them long enough to feel like we were not just standing there as they went by; sometimes we actually feel present in them. But not enough. Too many amazing and wonderful things go by without so much as a nod or moment of appreciation. Because life happens. Because we get busy. Because we just keep going. This blog is a way to stop all of that spinning and pause some of those quiet, simple little moments that make us smile. Being grateful is not something that we just are - being grateful is something we should actively do. This is two friends living many, many miles apart, sharing their tiny little moments of gratitude in pictures with each other and with the world.

Grateful #5 - Unconditional love from our pets

I threw my coat on the floor when I came inside today.  I came back to pick it up, and my dog had walked over and fallen asleep on it.  She has a bed and various other things she could have slept on, but she decided she wanted to sleep on my coat. Because it smelled like me.  Because it felt like home to her.  Because she loves me, unconditionally.  I am grateful for the unconditional love we get from our pets.   Despite our mistakes, our flaws, our annoying habits, our bad hair days - they love us just as much, and just as sweetly.
