		<description><![CDATA[Yep, especially on the hard days. Those are the ones I find myself giving Him thanks the most. Love you, friend...thanks for being here. (And I&#039;m up for a girls&#039; trip to the beach...maybe we could just abandon life and all adult responsibilities for a few days? Hmmm...) ;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blessings---a long walk in the morning with my rowdy boys, green trees that wave bye to summer in the evening breezes, boxes packed high ready for another transition, fighting for love and maintaining it---and learning to love each other better, Pepsi kissed with cherries for when I&#039;ve got to finish some work, slobbery open mouth kisses from my boy who likes to kiss, and big hugs and snuggles from my boy who likes to snuggle.  Lots of blessings everyday-I&#039;ve just got to remember to look.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are starting your school journey of FIRSTs with your kindergartner (who is looking adorable BTW) and I am starting a year of LASTs with my oldest.  *sigh* The blessing is watching those little beings grow and mature and thanking God daily that He gave them to us--even on the hard days!  Hope you get a beachy weekend soon!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Share a blessing, hmmmm, well you are one for me. Your friendship and prayers are something that I am forever grateful for. Another blessing is just that of friends who even though I don&#039;t see them often are always there. As well as the friends who are there in person often and see me through times that I just can&#039;t do it by myself anymore. Love you!!!!]]></description>
