Last night I was on a plane from Denver to Durango, we took of right as the sun was going down and all I could see below were city lights. When I fly, I can't help but look out the window. Makes me feel so small. I landed in the small Durango airport, and besides running into a few familiar faces, my dad was waiting for me.
I love my house in Durango. I love sleeping in my bed and trying to fall asleep in a place that is so incredibly quiet. No sirens, no traffic sounds....just silence. I love waking up in this house. To coffee and looking out onto the back deck into the forest.
I woke up this morning to some sobering news. A family here in Durango had lost their father suddenly. I have known this family for awhile, since their kids were little. I remember getting big hugs from the mom anytime I happened to run into her. It makes my heart break knowing that they are grieving the lose of their husband and father.
So listing 10 things today just doesn't seem right.
I am thankful for life, for another day. Pretty simple right?!?!
I am grateful for a Savior who died on a cross for our sins. For a Savior who stretched out His arms, only to suffer a death for us. And with those arms stretched wide on that cross, embraced me......giving me hope, even though I do not deserve it. Giving us life.
Thats it.....all that can not be summed up in a 10 thing list. Some things are just beyond lists.

Blessings on your Easter weekend - as you fully appreciate all the things that bring joy to your life. And if you run into the "mom" of the family you mentioned - give her a hug from us too!
