Iced Tea

Tonight at 7:00 my husband opened up the fridge to find the iced tea dispenser had been flipped up and tea was all over the fridge. Seriously top to bottom. The only way to clean up… literally remove every single item and the shelves and drawers.

It wasn’t really my plan to do tonight, but there was no other option. So I began the hour long process of cleaning up. And as I removed each item I felt so blessed. Blessed to have a fridge full of food. Blessed to have spent Memorial Day with Ryan’s family. Blessed to live in this country. I honestly just felt an overwhelming sense of peace as I cleaned up the mess.

It’s because Memorial Day makes me pause and reflect on what a privilege it is to live in America. I am so thankful for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms. I am so grateful for these soldiers and their families. So today and everyday I want to say thank you!
