Sunday Gratitude – 30.III.2025

How quickly this year seems to be going! I was caught up in a big house project until a week and a half ago, and I’m grateful to have gotten it done, regardless of whether the outcome is what I would like or not. We’ll see. It’s frustrating that the project took as long as it did, it’s frustrating what the answer is after completing it so far, and it’s frustrating that I seem to have kicked up enough dust to make me sick for the remainder of last week, but having it done makes the idea of continuing to get things done a little bit less of a fantasy.

I have been concerned about certain things as of late – I can’t get into too much detail, but I’m grateful that a number of “little” things have come up to help put a few extra dollars in my pocket. I understand that I come up with a lot of “great” ideas, but my follow-through isn’t always wonderful, but as situations change, I’m thankful to not be panicking at this moment. (On that same note, if any of you happen to be making purchases on Amazon, please consider clicking through one of my links here, either in the sidebar or at the end of my post, to help “establish” my new associates account.)

I’m thankful that we’ve had some good weather. Today was pretty miserable, but Friday was at least 75℉, which was amazing.

I’m thankful for time with friends, for unplanned conversations, and the joy of seeing people face to face. I’m thankful for the conversations, too, that happen with people who are too far away to just meet up with, and hopeful that this isn’t always the case.

I am also thankful for moments with each kid, but at the moment especially with my older son who seems to be mellowing out in some respects, as well as understanding more adult dynamics. It’s strange when he stands next to me and I realize that he’s now taller than I am – with more growing to go! – and he certainly isn’t near to being all grown up, but it’s been little moments with him that give me hope that maybe I haven’t messed up everything in regard to the kids.

I’m sorry I’ve been so light in the posting. I’m very, very tired. Thank you for putting up with me – I am always grateful for your time and attention.
