Day 303: 5 Gratitudes for Friday, 39

1. Children who are willing to share and give, not only of their time, but of their belongings. This week we did some decluttering. All the children happily went through their belongings.

2. My oldest daughter working hard on her talk and the giving a flawless talk on Sunday. No one could tell that she was speaking from an outline nor that she was nervous. She spoke for 5 minutes (which is the perfect length for a young woman). She even wrote in some bits of humor that garnered the laughs she was hoping to get.

3. That it is Friday night, I am done with all my chores and errands! (Now I can focus on computer related items!). I am looking forward to relaxing tonight and sleeping in (maybe?) tomorrow.

4. That we can be silly as a family. Yesterday was National Pirate Day. Krispy Kreme Donuts had a deal if you talked like a pirate you got a free donut. If you dressed like a donut you got a free dozen donuts. We all talked like a pirate. The children dressed up like a pirate and Steve wore a pirate hat. The worker must of liked us because he gave us 4 dozen free donuts. yeah....that is a lot of donuts! We then came home and watched Pirates of Penzance in honor of National Pirate Day - who says home schoolers don't get a good education?  :)

5. A grown up girls shopping trip. My wonderful friend, Beth, went shopping with me earlier in the week. We normally go out to eat, but I really wanted to do some shopping. I bought a scarf - the decorative kind that is pretty fashionable these days. It is sage green with studs. Beth says I need to break out of my comfort zone. I am sure she is right. :)

Happy Walking!
