Gratitude June 19, 2010

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 5:29 am

I’ve found myself thinking of so many things lately.  Some things I’m learning to let go of, while others I am grasping hold of and learning how to make them a priority in my life.   Everything in life is all about balance, and I think that because of many things that have happened this year, that I’ve found myself out of balance and unsure which way was up.   

I’m surrounded with great things-  great people-  but yet, there have been a few things that have caught me completely off guard and taken my breath away.   I thought I had it all under control, only to find out nothing was further from the truth.

Today-  I am on the verge of getting there, but I have to learn to completely let go of some things, and grasp on to others.   For those of you who have been a lifeline to me without even knowing it-   I love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My Gratitude List for June 19, 2010.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • Moments of silence, which are to be followed with some of my favorite music from days gone by.
  • Creativity, both big and small.
  • Friendships, and those who offer the life line without realizing.
  • Understanding when to let go and when to hold on and finding the balance.
  • Living outside the proverbial box.

Didn’t Realize

When Marcel and I moved into this place and found ourselves gutting it and redoing literally everything, I didn’t give much thought to the stainless steel kitchen sink that we ordered when we bought the kitchen. I think at that time we were both so overwhelmed that having a double sink never came into the picture, but now almost 7 years later, I’ve found myself thinking that it’s time to start making some changes. I’ve thought probably 100 times over those 7 years that double stainless steel kitchen sinks are much more practical, which is why I’m ready to start looking for a new one. We’ve been talking some time about replacing our counter top, so since we’re going to do that, I figure now is the time for a new sink. We’ll also get a new faucet, because as I’ve mentioned in the past, the one we have is also lacking.

I’ve been shopping for the best deal and so far, nothing beats the deals I’ve found on Mr. Direct. The prices are much better than the ones I’ve seen here, and they have same day shipping, which makes it easy to plan when to expect your order to arrive. Now if Marcel and I can agree on which sink we want, we’ll be in business.
