Gratitude Journal- 8/8/10

1) 722 acres of beauty, 21 miles of trails, the sounds of the wind rustling the green leaves, the bleat of a fawn trying to nurse from a doe, birds of all feathers singing their songs and a few moments of serenity.

2) Laundry done for the week- still to be folded but thankfully clean and dry!

3) A delicious venison steak for dinner (the irony after today’s deer watching is not lost on me) courtesy of the household’s gourmet chef, my husband.

4) Cute puppy running after the kids and giving kisses.

5) My new medicine for which I hold a lot of hope.

6) Red wine in my favorite glass, reminding me to relax, enjoy and Believe!

7) Football on television. Don’t really care about either of the teams today but there is something nice about the sounds and I love to watch the plays from both sides. Plus, they just showed the new Vice President of Officiating. Isn’t that an awesome job title?!

8) Anticipation of re-starting FlyLady habits tomorrow, after a tough couple of weeks. And NOT going it alone but asking for help and divvying up tasks. A clean house is so much more comfortable.

9) A reduced-pain kind of day. That is currently cause enough for joy.

10) Knowing that even when I want to be alone and can’t be, or really need to be with someone who cares, or just want to have a laugh, there are good people on the other side of a mouse click.
