It’s funny how when you look for gratitude it is all over
the place.
Most of my blog labels lately include the label “gratitude”
because more than anything I feel grateful; more grateful than stressed, more
grateful than pissed off and more grateful than overwhelmed.
Today I felt grateful for 3 things in particular:
1-For Snowbalz our elf. Today we needed a bit of Christmas
cheer amongst the Christmas chaos and he provided that for us. I hid him on our
ceiling fan in our room with a few chocolates and a congrats note for a great
mark Chase got in a subject that was in dire need of some uplifting marks. The
kids were so excited and had a really hard time finding him. He was full of
dust when he came off and I told my husband when he came home tonight. Maybe
instead of chatting about it I should have dusted the fan off? Or the elf? Oh well!!!
Protecting my time I am!
2-For my sister Savvy and our conversations. I love our
talks and our catch ups. I love her. I love that our minds and ideas and
thoughts are so similar. I love our friendships and the way it often picks me
up on Monday mornings-a popular time for us to speak on phone. I am grateful
to share my life with this girl and to share in hers. I am grateful that our friendship
grows in the direction of us as individuals and Moms and career women
3-For my son taking me out on a date and paying!!! A completely
unexpected text at end of day today asking me if I could pls find it in my heart
and schedule to pick him up from his activity after school. Followed by an
invitation to Thai-Express where he was paying!!!!! Wohoo-my guy is growing up.
He made a rare deposit into his bank account because he has collected every can
in this house for the last 6 months and counted them and took them in. And he
used some debit card to treat me. He said he wanted to have a lift, had a
craving for a soup bowl, wanted to treat me and wanted to spend time with me.
Awww………..
So that’s it for gratitude today among many other things
and people but these were making it onto my blog specifically.
