I read a blog called Delighted Momma regularly, and she posts things often under Things That Make Me Say Yeay. So, I thought to myself that I need to start posting something similar. So, that's where I came up with things that make my heart sing. It will be a new regular post of mine to let the world and my own public journal know the different things in my life that make my heart sing - aka things that make me happy.
So, while exercising today I thought about all the things that have lately made my heart sing.

the girls in their chair |
Another thing I think about that makes my heart sing is the fact that I have a healthy, beautiful baby. I praise God daily for the healthy baby boy He has blessed me with and am so grateful for getting to stay home with him for the first several months of his life. It is such an honor and a very rewarding experience.

Today it was a little brisk, so I decided to put Grady in his new dinosaur suit that I bought for the trip my mom, Grady, and I will be taking to Chicago in a few weeks. This outfit definitely makes my heart sing! And I think I get several cool mom points for having him wear a cute dinosaur outfit underneath his warm, fuzzy dino suit. I must say I have one adorable little boy!! (And yes it's a little big on him but six months is the smallest size it comes in.)

Another thing that makes my heart sing is the fact that I have such an amazing, determined, and passionate man in my life that when he sets his mind to something, he does it. Zac is the most dependable, dedicated man I have ever met. When he said he's running a marathon at the end of the year, that means he's training like a marathoner early in February for that race in December. He's already running up to 10 miles and hasn't skipped a run in about two weeks. As much as I've hated this personality trait previously, I've come to respect it. I can depend on him for anything, and I know without a doubt in my mind that he will stay by my side through thick and thin on the principle alone that he promised to love me and be with me forever (not that he'd have to rely on that principle alone to want to stay with me forever) ;). It makes my heart sing to know that I've got my partner for life - one that I love and respect above anything.
So, originally I was just going to have a brief list of things that make my heart sing and maybe a couple of pictures. That clearly didn't happening. I hope you've enjoyed hearing some of my thoughts as I worked out today. I'm sure the next post on things that make my heart sing will be shorter and more precise.
Much love,
Em
