I can hardly believe that it’s almost midnight here! Then again, the “spring forward” effect is in play here along with the fact that I did get in a little bit of a PLN.
I am grateful that older son is not helpless when he’s on his own… In fact, he’s quite independent, and as much as he’s still “little” (though almost as tall as I am), I’m thankful for that as well! I’m grateful that he seemed to take a less-than-ideal situation in stride.
I’m grateful to be getting some work done here, even if there’s so much more to be done.
It had been nearly a month since I’d been at the church I’m usually at due to different issues, and I’m grateful to feel like people were happy to see me back.
I’m thankful for the little bit I seem to be able to listen to people, even when I don’t know them well. All these people that we interact with, all of them have lives and stories, dreams and heartbreaks, but a lot of times, we’re kind of stuck in the mode of thinking of them as say, “the clerk at the gas station”.
I’m thankful to finally have the Christmas tree packed up in its box in the basement.
I’m grateful to have gotten to have a long chat with a dear friend I haven’t spoken with in a long time.
I’m grateful that even with me and kids not feeling wonderful last week, there was nothing too bad.
I’m thankful that a certain history project got done!
I’m grateful for having developed some weird skills. Right now, I’m working on creating an EPUB (ereader/Kindle) file of a very old book. I’ve been struggling with some of it, as my HTML and CSS skills haven’t been used in more than a decade. Tonight is when this thing finally started showing signs of a really cool finished project. I’m about 2/3 done with the text, but I started working with the formatting, and though it’s a slog, I’m also feeling more optimistic about doing a good job with it… I don’t know why, but I’m hoping honing these skills can lead to good things.
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.
Breath of Hallelujah
