Day 79: 5 Gratitudes for Friday, 8

1. Blessings, seen & unseen, from Heavenly Father: we are all healthy, the weather is slowly warming up, we appear to have won the bed bug battle and we had the means to purchase a new van...you can read about it here.

2. The ability to learn more about myself. My friend, Ashlee, has been learning about personalities recently and as a direct result I have started to learn about personalities. It is so eye opening to discover that my tendency to "weave stories in my head" is not odd - just my personality; or to realize that I accomplish tasks for very different reasons than my husband. He accomplishes tasks because he wants the task completed. I accomplish tasks because I want to either please someone, make someone happy, show my love to someone, help someone....well, you get the point -  people are my motivation. I always thought I was flaky...no, just wired different.

3. New friends - walking together, chatting/laughing together, meeting at the local children's museum. Friends make the world go around...well, love makes the world go around, but friends are a big part of that equation!

4. A patient husband. Really, no need to elaborate on this one, but...since I love giving details. :)  I recently told Steve just how hard this last year has been for me. I did a very good job of fooling everyone, including him, on how hard this last move was on  me. He asked me very nicely to let him know the next time I was having a hard time instead of hiding it. I am thankful that he loves me & can patiently listen to me.

5. A wonderful day of playing with my children. We went to the children's museum, ate at McDonald's, went to the library, played video games, watched a movie, ate pizza, stayed up late...it has been a fun day!
