Day 114: 5 Gratitudes for Friday, 12

1. A basement & a family room completely free of bagged items - all the clothes, all the linens and all the stuff animals are cleaned & returned to their homes. Thank goodness. Now comes the not so easy part - books, papers & children's toys. Thankfully it does not have to be done over night!

2. Warmer weather. Not enough to get rid of the coats & gloves, but enough that the children could play outside for a bit, the cat is spending long stretches warming himself outside in the sun and I don't feel quite so bone cold. It is nice to know spring will come again this year!

3. The willingness of our landlady and her dad to fix the big & little things around the house for us. This week it was plumbing problems in the basement. I really wish I had the know how to fix things myself, but I am so grateful for the people who do have that knowledge & our willing to help me out! BTW, everything is fixed & the basement is dry. :)

4. Slumber parties with my youngest daughter. She loves slumber parties and this year for Christmas I gave her the gift of a monthly slumber party with mom. She loves it and I have a lot of fun.

5. The opportunity to list my gratitudes every week. The few times I have missed, my week just hasn't gone as well. I really don't think this is coincidence. Saying "thank you" seems like such a little thing to do, but somehow it has a huge impact.

Happy Walking!
