Happy Saturday y’all.
Well, I survived yet another Dutch birthday party celebration. Seriously, I don’t generally mind them, but when it’s ‘that time’ and the cramps are not great, then I really prefer to crawl in bed and snooze. But you know what they say- no rest for the wicked. We had a good time, and it was great to see everyone that I hadn’t seen in a while.
Today is officially Marcel’s birthday and he’s watching the soccer game at the moment and I’m attempting to play catch up.
What I realized is that I haven’t done a gratitude list in a while. It doesn’t mean that I’m any less grateful, but it means that I haven’t taken the time to actually pause and be grateful, and I need to be more conscious about doing that. It makes a difference in my life, and I believe gratitude is important. We All have something to be grateful for.
My Gratitude List for October 10, 2009.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- Marcel, who turns 44 today.
- Olivia, who won homecoming queen last night at her school. When I saw the news this morning, I cried.
- Ainsley, who in spite of all her trials lately has risen above it all with grace and dignity.
- Being blessed with my current job that I love so much.
- True friendships, which are more precious to me than gold.
- Mom and diddy- for helping me out with a little project, and for being the wonderful parents that they are.
