gushing gratitude

We celebrated Victoria Day this past weekend, Monday was a holiday, Cory had the day off and it was beautiful. I found myself sitting on the couch last night with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The weather was amazing, we made no plans but decided to just go with the flow and we ended up filling our days with random, simple, joyful activities. Wonderful.
