I’m not very good about keeping up with this every day, but figure that whenever I can get it in is better than nothing. So here goes, my second list of "gratitudes":
1. The smell of clean. I am crazily in love with the smell of Lysol kitchen cleaner, Tide and a floor cleaner called Fabuloso. Call me crazy, but these things make me happy! And sadly, my Caleb has inherited it…he loves for his blankie to be washed and then we snif it together when it comes out of the dryer…ahhhhh!
2. Teachers. I’m amazed at how well the kids are learning right now and so impressed with good teachers who teach individually and help kids grow. We’ve been lucky this year. I especially love hearing Jacob master songs on the piano each week…we love Mae, his teacher, and I credit her with all of his quick success.
3. Friends. I’ve had a visitor(s) every day this week that has come just to talk and help me pass the time. Because of all of our friends and neighbors, this has been a trial that is NOT trying! I feel too spoiled in that regard. I especially enjoyed two of my favorite friends last Friday night. Dana and Shelley brought dinner and scrapbooking for a girls night. We ate lots of dinner, but did NO scrapbooking (better luck next time!). Just visited, laughed and relaxed. I love them and admire the way they’re raising their families and living their lives. I’m thankful for the best kind of friends who let me be who I am (which can be pretty goofy) and still love me for it.
