Squeezed in among my list of chores I need to be grateful for the amazing things happening in my  life.

I wished for a pair of polar bear leggings. I sent word out to friends in states afar and found them seven blocks from home.

Drain man was pleasant,patient and reasonable.

Those who blush at this do not appreciate the flush.

The joy of a hot shower.

Hubby is under the weather. I never appreciate all he does until he doesn’t.

Moving forward with  Easter Outreach.Looking forward to working with Bulldog Bags.

So grateful Ann summed up the info and sent it out.

Sunshine, daffodil stalks and the hint of a tulip.

Love doubles our joy and divides our grief. Sadness and challenges are best carried by many.

Make time for gratitude!
