Sunday Gratitude – 4.VIII.2024

It’s kind of been a weird week; I felt awful on Wednesday with soreness and sinus issues, and while I am doing much better, there’s still traces of the sinus issues lingering.

I am grateful that in the last couple of weeks, I have gotten to see or talk to a bunch of people who are “near” me. My introvert side is still kind of weirded out about that, but it’s not a bad thing.

I’m grateful that even with the high humidity, the temperatures haven’t been horrible, and so the air conditioning can more or less keep up with it.

I am grateful to be reminded of nice things; I found a box of manuka honey soap at Marshall’s when I was shopping with my cousin, and the scent is heavenly. The box of eight bars was $10; on Amazon something very similar seems to start at $36. Manuka honey always reminds me of New Zealand, so very far away… (I could have sworn I had a Wordless Wednesday post on New Zealand, but I can’t find anything.)

I am grateful for middle daughter’s striving to help. She’s offered to make me tea a number of times this week and there are times when she’s actually been generally helpful with stuff.

I’m grateful I made it to church with the three youngest today. They were very, very tired, but we made it.

I’m thankful that the replacement for a recalled item finally showed up.

I’m thankful that middle daughter got to visit one of her favorite pets this week. The poor girl loves the animals but can’t take too much at a time because of allergies.

I was thankful for the loosening up of the schedule for the summer, but I think I will be thankful again when there’s more structure.

I am grateful for you who read and interact. I never forget that.
