Sunday Gratitude – 4.II.2024

This week has really been dominated by the kids – and then me – getting sick. I’m grateful that although whatever this is has been sticking around, none of the kids has been dangerously sick. I’m grateful that appointments that were made before could be rescheduled, and appointments that needed to be made this week happened as well. As lousy as everything was, I’m glad that if I had to get sick with the kids, I got hit with the worst of it on Friday night, which meant that I didn’t have to drive anyone to school feeling completely awful the next day. I’m grateful that although the bug seems to be viral, it doesn’t seem to be strep, flu, or Covid. I’m even grateful that I had an excuse to learn something in my forced downtime. 

I’m grateful that I got to do something with my oldest – even if it wasn’t something she necessarily wanted to do and I wasn’t the person she wanted to do it with. 

I am grateful to be at the end of “Hostage to the Devil“. I’m glad I read it, but it’s the opposite of a “light read”. 

I am thankful that the weather has been nicer, and it was nice to get hit with the sunshine coming through the window this afternoon. I’m sure this is the infamous “false spring” (and usually the “first false spring”), but I cracked the kitchen window open about an inch for a couple of hours this afternoon, and it was glorious! Fresh air!   

I’m grateful for God’s Love which is around me all the time.

I’m grateful for the patience so many people have had with me.

As always, I am thankful for you.
