Day 233: 5 Gratitudes for Friday, 29

1. For the first time, in a long time, I feel in control over what I am eating and more importantly understand why. I may hate counting calories (and trust me, I am going to come up with a super easy cheat sheet so I don't have to keep counting calories...), but I love the mental check of X number of calories = healthy or unhealthy...then I simply choose the outcome. I also am feeling satisfied, but light. It is a good feeling.

2. Listening to Steve read comics to the children for bedtime. He does a different voice for each character, plus gives it a lot of feeling (animation). It is quite entertaining - the children love it, it is a huge treat.

3. My husband buying me a gift when it is his birthday coming up! Unknown to me, when Steve was shopping for his dad's birthday and compiling a wish list for his own birthday, Steve bought me the 1st two seasons to Castle. It is the only current show I watch on T.V., but I didn't start watching until this year....so Steve thought it would be fun for me to see how it all began. He was very right....and sweet.

4. The children, especially K, making Grasshopper Pie for Steve's birthday (we celebrated early). The children did a great job making this super easy and super rich dessert.

5. Having enough room in the house to set up 2 folding tables to set up a board game and being able to leave it out over night so we can play it over several days. The game is Talisman. It has several expansions...the board ends up being huge, but it is so fun. We have a great time playing....actually, we have a great time playing a lot of games together.
