Ok, I'm having one of those Bah-Humbug kind of days {maybe it's due to trying not to have sugar today} & to make it worse I went out to get the mail {which is one of my most favorite things to do each day} only to find junk mail starring back at me! Augh... that usually never happens in December {& it shouldn't!} so as I was stomping back into the house feeling a little in the dumps I stopped to think for a bit.
{1st of all I shouldn't complain because I haven't even made, written or put together a Christmas Card this year & who knows if I will get around to it}
I need to be grateful for:
-a client {who has quickly become a sweet friend} who brought me a little gift today as she came to the H&H sale.
-my health that I can walk out to the mailbox each day. I have a dear friend who is suffering right now & she reminds me all the time to be grateful for my health.
-watching the snow falling outside & paper snowflakes
{& all the scraps of white paper around reminding me of my creative kids}
- a kind neighbor who shoveled my sidewalks & drive-way today for me
-that I have a warm, cozy house to be in
-my Husbands job that he gets to do something he enjoys
-my Husbands job that he gets to do something he enjoys
-this little guy {Mr. Olly} to keep me company during the day
-Peace & safety....
the list could go on & on. Hopefully by typing & getting it out there it will help me snap out of it - we'll see!
Hope you are having a good day & finding something to be grateful & happy about.

I hate days like that, nothing should come in the mail but wonderful holiday greetings. I had the best mail day I got that wonderful picture frame. I have been moving it from room to room to pick the perfect spot. I made my son and his friend say how wonderful it was in several places before they could play the wii. Thank you for making my mail day!

You are such a good example to me. I needed to read this post. I could stand to find something good about my day as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks friends! Becky, I'm glad you had a fun trip to the mailbox today- enjoy your H&H frame! A- you're so sweet & Nicole, maybe we should have gone to that midday movie lunch we've been talking about. We need to get that on the calendar & thanks for letting me borrow shortening & eggs for the cookies tonight, what would I do without you next door? ;)
