Day 247: 5 Gratitudes for Friday, 31

1. Crazy, unpredictable weather! We had a record setting heat wave last week and this week it has been rather cool - actually rained today. A nice, cool, refreshing rain. I love rain. I love that it comes when you least expect it. I love a light rain that is perfect for playing in...

2. The opportunity I have been given to talk in church on Sunday. For those who are not LDS (Mormon), the members take turns giving talks (short sermons) to the congregation. I have not spoken in church in years. I am nervous, excited and very, very grateful for the opportunity to study the scriptures.

3. My children's excitement over the "big" things in their lives - K attending girl's camp next week, S and her up coming baptism, and Z over all the new board games he gets to play with his dad. Their excitement is contagious (although sometimes I wish they would calm down a bit...) and it has me looking forward to the "big" things in my life - like school starting in the fall!

4. For our landlord's father, Craig, who is an ever willing handyman for the big and small problems that pop up in our home.  Earlier this week, I went to the basement to do laundry and the smell of something damp that has sat too long hit me. Craig spent one day looking for the problem and two days drying out the carpet.

5. For my husband's willingness to be my sounding board. While writing/studying for my church talk, I got stuck and Steve was able to help me get over my stumbling block. He also listens patiently when I have great "save the world" theories...then he hits me with a few simple realities to help me round out my theories.

Happy Walking!
