intentional living, little by little

No.364: 2020 Gratitude // 10

A new series for 2020!  If I record 20 things every week, I’ll have over 1,000 items by December 31.  
That’s a lot to be grateful for.

warm, sunny days to play outside
passing along outgrown clothes to people who need them
“cooking class” with Sophie
pumpkin muffins with a hot cup of coffee
seed packets arriving in the mail
have the school year finish line in sight (8 weeks to go!)
tissues and cough drops
a few days of doing absolutely nothing (thank you Influenza A for spreading through the whole family)
Mark’s understanding employer
how the healthy kids took care of the sick ones
lots of time to read and blog
cuddling with P
a rare afternoon of absolute silence (everyone was asleep or reading)
hot showers
that the feverish part of the illness passed through us quickly
a breeze through open windows, if only for an hour
my washer and dryer
sunsets that look like a watercolor painting
two sales on ebay
that the big boys are (hopefully) on the mend enough to attend their competition and tryouts this weekend

    And that's a gift–to be able to see the good through a whole week of sickness! Hope you're all on the mend and that you can at least enjoy some of the weekend 🙂

      I had to dig deep to write this week's list! Thankfully, I think the worst is behind us.

    This list is proof that your gratitude runs DEEP girl! So sorry you got Influenza A! We had both A & B this season, and it was absolutely miserable.
    I hope things keep looking up!!!
