Sunday Gratitude – 13.VIII.2023

I took an overnight trip to visit a cousin with the three “little” kids, and despite things not working out perfectly, it was a nice break and we had fun. I am very grateful for that, as well as the fact that we made it there and back without any issues.

I’m grateful for the rain, and for the somewhat cooler weather, even if it is making me sneeze!

I’m grateful for the friendly people working at the local gas station, who all recognize me these days.

I’m grateful for every time my toddler starts singing “Happy Happy Happy” (I think it comes from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Kg6XeMhQU). I’m thankful every time I see how my 9-year-old can still enjoy “little kid” things, especially with his sister, but how he’s also growing up.)

I’m thankful for finding random cool stuff around, and that the kids found it cool too.

I’m thankful that I have a cousin who doesn’t mind that I don’t usually call, that she understands that I’m juggling a lot of things and don’t often think to pick up the phone, but that I’m happy to hear from her when she does call.

I’m thankful to have found a few lost things. (Now to continue on that trend!)

I am grateful that church went reasonably well today.

Life isn’t easy; without gratitude, it’s even a tougher ordeal.
