Gratitude Friday

It's Gratitude Friday here and I have a new list- how about you? Please share what you are grateful for....

I am grateful for:

*The blessing of a blue moon on this special day
*The working furnace even if we don't need it yet

*The mysterious flat of delicious, fresh tomatoes that arrived on my doorstep

*The smiles and waves from the town folk- known and unknown- as they drive by my house

*The friendly bus driver and the fact that she is taking the children to school leaving my days more open and free

*The neighbor who talks of spirits and old times and the way things feels more than the way they look

*The river that flows constantly through our lives here

*A husband I can't get enough of and want to talk to all the time

*A mother who is supportive, creative and constantly optimistic

*Children who are kind, good hearted and smile more often than not

*The opportunity to teach locally

*The possibility of a good job for my husband

*The kind people who offer their help and support on a continual basis

*A furnace guy who teases, smiles and offers viable and creative options to heat our home

*The sale prices at Sears at a time when our fridge is on its last leg

*Hardwood floors- even ones that need refinishing- because they are beautiful

*Happy dogs

*Food to eat and bake and cook

*The local ice cream place

*A doctor covered by our insurance 

*The sense of work ethic and responsibility my son is gaining as he hays local fields with new friends

*A strong heart and pensive mind
