Year 2, Day 9: 5 Gratitudes for Friday, 49

1. Well, this is a good as place as any to announce that we are moving, again. We are headed back "home" to family. Home is a relative term...it is really where ever the heart is and the heart is where the family lives. In this case, home is where extended family and some wonderful friends live. We are pretty excited. But the gratitude is not for the move, but for the reason - Steve has a job! I am always thankful that my husband has a job and is able to provide for us....especially since I love staying home!

2. My husband treating me to movers doing the packing this time around. Such a strain sensation to be decluttering and straightening the house only - the straightening is a must (have you seen my children's rooms lately?). My husband is laughing at me because as I am decluttering, I am also arranging the rooms....what can I say, I love to organize!

3. The early, quiet mornings...I spend it reading and exercising. I am not enjoying the strength training...at all. This is not a good sign since I want to do it for a full year. Trying to figure out what exactly I don't like so I can tweak it. Maybe I miss the children? Hmmm....What I do like is those early, quiet mornings. I love the peace before the rising "storm".

4. Hard working children. They are decluttering and organizing right alongside me. I am amazed at their willingness to give things away. They have been working very hard and only have another week or so of this kind of hard work. Such great children!

5. My sisters wonderful advice. Usually when my sister calls it is me dispensing the good advice, but this past week she helped me see my way clear of a fairly easy and "not big deal" problem - that I was, of course, making bigger than it needed to be. I love my sister!

Happy Walking!
