A dozen things..

..that never get old.

1. God's grace. This is going to be an overall silly list but just had to mention this because I am truly in awe of it almost every day. I would say every day but realistically (and sadly) there are many days I get wrapped up in myself. And more than that, without it, I wouldn't be able to even make this list.

2. Making Jake belly laugh. From birth to almost 11, this still rocks my world.

3. Baked goods. They get old, but eating them doesn't. I just love 'em.

4. Looking at photographs. New ones, old ones.. I love pictures. And I love that I have family and friends that take them regularly.

5. The feeling after finishing a race. Doesn't matter how tired or sore I am.. I. LOVE. THAT. FEELING.

6. The moments I choose grace and kindness instead complete selfishness and entitlement. I wish they happened more often!

7. Buying a new pair of shoes or makeup. Nope, never gets old. Maybe because I don't do it that much.

8. Family dinners. Whether it's the whole gang, or just me and Jake. Is that a Snyder thing?

9. Watching God work in Jake's life. While I don't ever feel like it gets old in my own personal walk, watching Him move in Jake's heart literally takes my breath away.

10. Watching TV. I wish I didn't like it as much as I do. It's sad, really.

11. Giving. Not always easy but never falls short of wonderful on some level.

12. Long conversations with Jake. Often, he asks if we can 'just talk.' And we do, sometimes for an hour or two.. about everything. I just soak up every moment, he really is good company.
