Welcome to the Grateful Grove. My name is Traci- I have been married to my husband Rick for almost 17 years and we have been together for 22 years. To say we have grown up together would be an accurate statement. We have 3 kids that we are raising on our small family farm. I welcome you to follow my blog here on Grateful Grove.
I had planned to sleep in this morning, but mother nature had other plans. I was woke up to thunder rattling my house and lightning flashing through my windows. And once I was awake…well I was awake for the day.
My husband was still soundly snoozing in bed as I started downstairs to make coffee. I peeked in on my youngest who was blissfully unaware of the storm and still sleeping, as well as the dog who was sleeping on the bedroom floor (even though she isn’t supposed to be upstairs!). It made me ponder how we all “weather” the storms in life differently. I have learned over the last few years that weathering storms is a personal journey that can be easy or difficult. The biggest being the storm of losing my mother unexpectedly 3 1/2 years ago. Through this storm I’m learning about taking care of myself and others. Finding the grateful in each day.
Don’t worry my blog isn’t going to be deep and intense in all of the posts. I hope to share some insight into my life on our small farm, raising 3 wonderful kids, recipes and general funny things and my musings on life. Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, it gets messy, disorganized and chaotic. But finding the right outlook can help everything.
I invite you to follow along with me and find the grateful in each day!
