Old and New Gratitude

1. Last night I found myself reading old gratitude lists from April of 2011, when the switch was made from GLD…I laughed and I cried, and sometimes I wondered what it was that I was talking about! Oh, the mystery!

2. My husband was still in the Army at the time and it was fun to remember some of the things Logan and I did when it was just the two of us.

3. I came across a list where I said I was grateful that we were at the almost one year until retirement mark…Now here we are approaching two years since he came home to stay! Talk about gratitude!!! So many times I wondered if we’d ever make it.

4. Wow…We had NO idea what a transition it would be, but thankfully we’ve survived. :)

5. The list in May of 2011 when I was so grateful for my neighbor who saw me mowing and came over on his riding mower to save me. This past May he and his wife were killed in a car accident. They were both in their 80’s. It was nice to remember them even though it reminded me of the pain of losing them so suddenly.

6. The posts reminding me of some work we had done on our house…It was nice to remember how hard I’ve worked to make this house our own. It makes me appreciate it even more than usual.

7. Oh man…My list about the day I spent with Lucy before she left for California and Mother’s Day when she and David came over and had breakfast with Logan and I. I had some happy and sad tears over that one. <3

8. Remembering some of the funny things that we used to do with Sugaree, and some of the silly routines that she had before my husband came home. She's not able to be quite so bossy with a man in the house. :)

9. All the fun field trips that Logan and I have taken and the fun projects that we've done.

10. Yesterday I posted that I was grateful for how far I've come and today I'm even more grateful for how far I've come. I'm so grateful for finding GLD and for We Love Gratitude.
