Thankful Witch

Some of my sweetest moments as a Mom have been when one of the girls tiptoe over and hand me a sketch they just carefully completed. Paige brought me this page, yesterday. She explained, "You know why that witch is so happy? She is happy because she has a broom!"

A simple broom? A broom for jobs? Jobs she'd have to do? Pausing, I reminded myself that even on days I feel like a witch I ought to remain happy about the simple blessings I do have at hand! Blessings that make my load lighter. Whether they come as an object, a break, or most often a person. I am blessed.

This happy witch now hangs on the fridge. All other trick-or-treating decor came down promptly November 1st...but this kind, sketched smile remains. A good transition from Halloween hats into the Season of Thanksgiving!
