Here's to gratitude.

Lately I have been thankful for warm summer afternoon where I can fall asleep in the sun. Where I can eat fresh, ripe peaches and let the juices run down my chin and stain my top. Where I can drink traditional ginger ale from a glass bottle.

Here's to my husband who looks after me when I'm sick. For being excited. For taking me for Thai food instead of packing. There are few things I find more attractive than watching you sleep.

Here's to 6pm classic Simpson's and 24 hours in a&e for making me laugh and making me cry.

Here's to a sister who shows me how she raises a beautiful daughter. For giving me a niece who makes me laugh and kisses me when I ask (and sometimes doesn't). For learning to use Skype so when I leave in a week I can watch your babies grow without me.

Here's to phone calls from old colleagues. Here to reminiscing about a great friend we both lost. Here to plans for chips on the beach.

Here's to moving to Romania.

Here's to a God who always turns everything into enough.
