Sunday Gratitude – 22.X.2023

My Sunday afternoon got hijacked by something unexpected – not necessarily a bad thing, but something unforeseen – and so sitting to write didn’t happen yesterday. Oh, I should never plan on writing after the kids are asleep – I usually nod off myself and that’s the end of the story! *L*

I am grateful that the past week was an awful lot calmer. No kids’ activities to attend, no doctor’s appointments, no administrative or legal appointments. Despite all the greyness and rain, it was really good to be able to relax a little.

I am grateful that even though kids weren’t feeling great at the beginning of the week, it seems like it’s a pretty minor bug and that it left pretty much as soon as it came (except for the youngest – but she got to stay home and rest!)

I am grateful to have found my missing camera.

I am grateful to have wonderful friends to connect with, both old and new. That community is so necessary in these days!

I am grateful for all the beauty of fall. Despite all the grey and rain, it hasn’t been a hard rain, and so most of the leaves are still on the trees. When the sun comes out, the reds and yellows – and almost purple of some trees – is dazzling.

I am grateful that it’s finally feeling like a lot of the mind-numbingly slow and tedious work in the house is finally feeling like it’s bearing fruit.

I am grateful for these days, as crazy as they may be, both in the small and large scope, because the days – and we walk so few, actually – are a gift from God.

Thank you so much for reading!
