I have been too negative lately, so I need to write about some of the big and small things I'm thankful for.
my wonderful, loving, supportive and wise Husband
my basil plant, alive and well this year in the garden box
my children are all happy to go to school
properly functioning major and minor appliances
good health for me and my family
good books to read
compassion from kind friends
love and support from sisters and sisters-in-law
Cheeseball's choice to get baptized
Cheeseball and T-Bone's wonderful friendship
time with Goose in the morning
Beulah's dedication to excellence in her schoolwork
forgiveness for my mistakes
Janey's enthusiasm for life's experiences
the freedom to enjoy yummy food without guilt
the beautiful world I can see around me
happy memories of fun times
safe and healthy vacations
consulting work from former employers
raspberries growing
knowledge of God and Jesus Christ and an awareness of their love for me
good examples
afternoon naps
generous donations others make to DI
fabulous pregnancies and safe deliveries
listening to my kids play piano
people who teach my children
supportive and wonderful parents
cool mornings
the hope of an even better future
all those people who have prayed for me and my family
I could and should go on but I have piles on laundry that need my attention.
