Million Little Miracles

This morning I talked my sister through baking the 20 pound turkey she got for free. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. ⁣

In a while I’ll start the drive to my Grammy’s house in Utica. She’ll be 90 in April. I love how I feel when I walk in her house almost as much as I love her stories. ⁣

Later we’ll FaceTime with my aunt and uncles. We’ll laugh when Grammy tries to hold the phone to her ear. And then Grammy and I will head out to eat a delicious dinner neither of us has to cook. ⁣

Tomorrow I’ll probably eat cake for breakfast 😉 🍰 and then head over to see Katie Aiello at Character Coffee. Take note if you’re in the Utica area - it’s the best. ⁣

Then I’ll head home to the sweetest, floofiest boy I could ever hope to have. He’ll be waiting at the door for me, just like he always does.⁣

When I was little I thought my life would look a lot different. I thought more would have happened by now. That I would never get sick until I was old. ⁣

But something gets lost in the imagining of what could have or should have been. We miss the million little miracles all around us. Many we never could have imagined. ⁣

Today I’m grateful for my health, and grandmothers, and long drives, and free turkeys, and FaceTime with family, and coffee shops, and floofy fur friends, and cake for breakfast. ⁣

And the God who saw fit to send them all to me. ❤️ #MillionLittleMiracles
