Music

 My next to last daughter had her last orchestra concert tonight. I’m grateful for music. I’m grateful for good orchestra teachers. One kid left to get through the program. 

Getting harder

 By the time I get around to doing this before bed I’m so tired that it is hard to even remember what happened during the day. Today I am grateful for laughter. It’s been a while since I laughed as much as I did today. 

Clothes

 I’m grateful for the clothes I have. It isn’t easy to shop for me. I sadly found a couple holes in one of my favorite shirts. I’m grateful for the memories I made in it. 

Good examples

 I am grateful for people around me that are good examples. I hope that as I eventually have more free time that I will make the same choices they do. 

Unity

 I gave a RS lesson on Unity today. I’m grateful for all the comments that make my lessons more adapted to the sisters. I’m grateful for the willingness of the sisters to speak up. I have news I can share in about two weeks. I guess I will have more gratefuls then. 😜

Satisfying Saturday

 I am grateful for the flowers I planted today. I just happened to see a post on FB about someone giving away extra plants of Orange Lilies. One of my sons and one daughter helped me. Now to hope they grow where I planted them. 🤣

Finally Friday

 I had a long day today at work but I’m grateful that I don’t have to start Monday off stressing about that was left undone. I love my job but wish I could get more done in the hours I work. I’m grateful to have a job that helps pay the bills. 

Thirsty Thursday

 I’m grateful for our class tonight. It was a good reminder to take care of our bodies so we can take care of ourselves emotionally and mentally. I committed to drink at least one Hydroflask of water each day for this week. I also have to fill out a week of some type of exercise. Tomorrow’s commitment is to walk the halls at work twice for 10 minutes. 

Wacky Wednesday

 I’m grateful this weird day is over. Work was weird but can’t go into details. Got a random drug test order. After yesterday’s day off I still had extra time off because of having to leave for that. I went to Twin and am home now. I need to go to bed. I’m too tired to make this make sense. I think I passed the drug test though. Failing would have been really wacky!!

Terrific Tuesday

 Today was a good day. I’m grateful for all the things I did and grateful for all the things I didn’t have to do. It started off rough with the 13yo missing the bus. I took her to school and came back to my quiet house. I did whatever I wanted to do. I crocheted. I cleaned out the fridge a little (remember I didn’t have to). I watched some shows. I listened to an audiobook. I went to lunch. I went to the gym without anyone waiting for me or having to hurry up to be somewhere else. I shopped. Right now I’m laying on my bed deciding if I want to take a nap since I didn’t get to sleep in. Yep, Terrific Tuesday. 

Monday’s are rough

 Mondays at work are rough. Lots to do in a day. I worked late getting stuff done so I don’t have to work tomorrow. Tomorrow’s grateful will be easy I hope. 

Today’s gratitude is for helpful coworkers. Even small tasks help me out. 

Sunday and kids

 Easter Sunday was different. No Easter Bunny here for the first time in probably 29 years. It’s supposed to be sad but it is also fun to see your kids grow up. I’m grateful for how well my kids have turned out. 

Wood and trailer

 I am grateful for friends and family that contributed to our warm house tonight.  My son was able to borrow a trailer on which we loaded two old fridges and a bunch of junk and trash to haul to the dump. That felt good. Then thanks to a wonderful neighbor we loaded it back up with wood for the fireplace. They were so kind to give us some of the wood they won’t be using. 

Jeans and things

 I did wear those jeans all day today. I’m so excited. I’m grateful for the progress there. 

I’m also grateful for all I got done at work today. I’m in a pretty good position for check run on Monday. 

Also grateful for a few extra hours of work which will let me possibly take a day off work next week. 

Jeans

 Today I am thankful that I can fit into one of my pairs of jeans again. What I’ve been wearing are jeggings. 

I might be thankful for french toast tomorrow. I get to eat breakfast fresh tomorrow. (Long story.)

Grandbabies

 Today I’m grateful for grandbabies. #10 is on his way. 

Slippy Slidey

Today drive to work was an icy adventure. I was at the stoplight in Paul facing south waiting for the cars in front of me to turn left. A bus was northbound. As the car directly in front of me turns, I see the bus start sliding sideways in my direction. She was supposed to turn and go east but had to continue north instead. Today I’m grateful I didn’t get creamed by a sideways bus. 

Monday the 11th of APRIL!

 I am grateful for the moisture we received today although I greatly dislike that it came in the form of snow. 🤣🤣

Teenagers

 I’m grateful that teenagers grow up. It’s been a rough weekend. 

Today’s gratitude

 Very long story short, I spent about 7 hours in my suburban today just avoiding home. I took my crocheting, book, notebook and books for this class. I am grateful for the push to work on me. 

New Class…New Post

 I started a new class last night. Personal not school. 

One thing I’m grateful for today is I was able to take a few minutes tonight by myself.
