Gratitude on Mondays

So about 8 years ago my best friend and I had a major falling out.  It was horrible.  Many times over the years I wondered what she was doing.  Eight years later, it is even hard to remember exactly what our fight was about.  A few weeks ago we met again, both very nervous, at a gathering with friends from Jr. High.  We hugged and got teary and spent the night getting to know each other again.  We both decided to forget about the past, chalk it up to being young, and move on! 

Saturday we got our families together, they had a great time!  They are around the same age.  It is amazing how our lives have run very parallel.  We all had so much fun, with new stories to tell, and adventures to share.  I forgot how much fun my friend is!  It was so wonderful to reconnect.  Like putting on your favorite sweatshirt on a crisp fall day!  So this week I am so very grateful for my new/old friend!!!!

Gratitude on Mondays

October 4, 2010 at 8:29 am (gratitude)

We are moving!  A few months ago hubby and I looked around and said, “its time!”  We have loved living in our house.  It is big and old with plenty of room, a second kitchen for my studio.  But after little man came into our lives, we have found that we want to spend our time in very different ways.  Long gone are the rocking house parties.  The lounge with a bar, has been replaced by a proper family room.  I don’t want to clean, and my husband doesn’t want to do hours of yard work…so we are downsizing! Yes a term usually associated with empty nesters.  We just want to spend less time on the nest.

So this morning I am grateful that we have made this decision and have finally realized that bigger is not always better.

I am grateful that we have found a home that we love, and hopeful that we can sell ours.

I am grateful for our agent, who is truly wonderful!

Who wouldn’t want to spend more time playing with this little guy!

I invite you to play along!  It really does feel great to start your week on a positive note.
