1. A clean basement. I am no where close to having the basement completely done - I am deep cleaning, organizing/rearranging and de-cluttering. Yet, 3/4 of the basement is done and I love it. I feel like a part of me is at rest or at peace. I love knowing that even the area under the stairs (which we don't use at all) is clean.
2. The opportunity to attend YW in Excellence with my oldest daughter. YW (Young Women) is the youth organization for girls age 12-17 at my church. YW in Excellence is held once a year and the young woman showcase their talents. I loved being with my daughter and seeing her growth. Even though I am with her every day, I am still amazed at what a mature, beautiful, thoughtful, generous and kind young woman she is becoming. My daughter show cased some necklaces that she made (she also got a lot of compliments).
3. For the smooth ride that school is so far this year. I have simple outline, we just start somewhere each day and manage to get it all done. The children are enjoying themselves. I am enjoying the children. I think we are all enjoying learning, working, playing, and reading together. It is so great!
4. Gorgeous weather in October! It isn't exactly an Indian Summer, but it is pretty darn close. We are thoroughly enjoying the weather - yard work, ride bikes, walk, play outside, going to parks, and etc. I know the weather will get cold soon, but I am soaking up every ounce of this great weather that I can. I feel like I have been given a second chance to "get it all done". Not sure what "it" is, but we are getting things done!
5. Realizing that one of my talents is cleaning/organizing and that is okay. It might seem odd, but that is one of my talents. When I ignore that talent than I (and my life) just don't seem to function as well. I am happy to pass my knowledge/love/talent on to others....my children might not always appreciate being the recipient of this gift, but I have noticed that their life seems to run a bit smoother as well. Plus, they are getting use to all the cleaning. :)
