Behind The Butter

For Friday

IMG_9157

Sometimes, the cliche is true. Photographs can say a thousand words.

They can tell of happiness, sadness, love and grief. They can capture moments of beauty and can help us remember to always be thankful for what we have.

I love to share my life with you.

    I am thankful for my health, my amazing best friend/husband, the blog community who inspire me and share my values and beliefs, and that it is finally fall 🙂
    My fave picture out of these has to be the path, with the mountain and waterfall in the background. Waterfalls are very soothing and create a peace within me. And anytime I am near them, I feel in awe of the beauty that God has created.

    I am thankful for my amazing husband – we have been married for almost 10 years, together for about 12 of those (and the first two were spent living in separate countries). He’s funny, smart, handsome and loves me for who I am – even when I making up crazy things to worry about, do some ridiculous dance to a commercial on tv, or crying over homesickness. We balance each other out, even when we’re arguing 🙂

    I’m not sure what I’m thankful for. Lately, everything sucks, and I feel very deserted by the people I love. (Sorry to be the downer here).

    I do feeling thankful for LOST because that show really helped me work through many painful issues.
