Some Things I'm Grateful For

I love my new tea bag squeezer.

I love the tiny frog that has taken up residence on our front porch.

I love having my dishes and furniture back that I had to leave behind 18 months ago.

I love my husband for making me laugh with all his goofiness.

I love the view of woods from my office window.

I love the sound of my dryer making our clothes warm and fluffy on a gloomy afternoon.

I loved having pizza and red wine for dinner last night, with fudgsicles for dessert.

I love my fairy-type friend who offered to listen to my feelings even while she's having her own hard-to-handle stuff happening.

I love my teddy-bear-type friend who ordered his favorite uplifting book to be sent to me by Amazon during my darkest moments yesterday.

I love that it's bill-paying day and we have enough for all our needs.

I love knowing that it's Friday and that my husband will probably take me out for dinner tonight.

I love knowing that the weekend is coming and that the shorts and white blouse I got on sale last weekend are waiting on their hangers for me....

I love seeing my husband smile . . . and it's so fun when he laughs at my humorous remarks (that's when I feel most powerful in life

I love having ignored my To-Do lists for most of this week.

I love the shaft of sunlight coming through the grey clouds right now.

I love my old jersey sheets that I found in a box in the garage . . . and knowing that I get to cuddle into them again tonight.

I love that I like myself more and more these days.

I love my house plants and the way they seem happy to live with us.

I love knowing that something simple I'll be doing this afternoon will help my husband.

I love knowing that my husband got me a practical present and it will arrive in the mail early next week.

I love knowing that TWO presents will arrive in the mail for me next week.

I love the new red tank top I'm wearing that I got online for $2.99 and that goes so well with my favorite comfy ol' black & white skirt.

I love my three teddy bears, especially the one wearing the sweater and beanie cap who loves me unconditionally with his eyes.

I even love the naughty raccoons who tore down the suet feeder intended for the woodpeckers and made a mess smearing it all over the yard (as they devoured the suet like no tomorrow). Just thinking about them makes me laugh.

I love that when I really remember to listen to my feelings, I know what to do (albeit this is the hardest one to remember and live by
