Sunday Gratitude 28.V.2023

I’m glad this week is over. It was almost chilly, but sunny, but it was so stressful with all the things going on, not in the least the kids’ last day of school. Craziness, all.

I mentioned this in a comment over on one of Rod Dreher’s posts, but I’ve felt like I’ve had a lot of my “important” relationships over the last few years get distant. It’s not a distance in “feeling” but truly, having people who have to leave or have to attend to other things at this moment in time. This has happened so many times that it hardly feels like a coincidence, that it’s just another thing to bear through everything else going on now, but it makes me even more grateful for the times when I do have “my people”.

I am grateful that I found a flash drive that I had considered lost. I backed up a bunch of documents on it, and I found it in my coat when I went for my mini-vacation. I didn’t remember seeing it after the trip, and I figured that I had probably left it in the bin at the one airport where they wanted me to have all the electronics out for visual inspection. Really? Do you know how difficult that is for me? Cameras, computer, computer dodad bag, etc. I know stuff got dumped from my pockets to the bin, and I was never sure that everything got properly collected, being as I couldn’t find that drive. And then I found it in the box where I put drives away when I’m being good about doing that. This truly makes me wonder if it wasn’t some kind of miracle… and I’ve needed miracles this week!

I am grateful that one of my appointments didn’t require my physical presence, as it seemed impossible to find anyone to watch a small child for the duration.

I am grateful for those who can forgive me for my mistakes.

I am grateful for all of you for taking the time to read what I write. 🙂
