Moving On

Today I Am Grateful For ~

• Buying knobs for my dresser drawers yesterday. Wow, now opening and closing the drawers isn't such a hassle. Who knew spending that $20 could be a stress-reliever? Not me! I've lived with that dresser for 18 years just the way it was.
• Richard installing said knobs for me, since the changes in our bedroom are getting to be overwhelming for me. It's looking and feeling so soothing in there that I'm having issues of deservability come up. Apparently, I'm much more comfortable when things look run-down.
• Hearing about the Xtreme Team weekend and all of the learning and growth that occurred.
• Being able to walk out the door without shoes or a jacket--I love this time of year.
• Getting one more chance to go up to Richard's sister's cabin this weekend, before she sells it. Each year in August the whole Rondeau clan heads up for about 5 days of family togetherness in the beautiful UP. We have loved our trips up there. The beauty of nature is astounding and peaceful. I'll miss the campfires, the hikes, hearing the wolves howl while sitting on the front porch, being able to see more stars than I could possibly count, the play of northern lights in the night-time sky, the waterfalls, Richard's adventures with his siblings and the tall tales afterward (they have just as much fun telling the story, as they have during the experience!), just hanging out and being comfortable with family and much more.
• Feeling peaceful and accepting of the changes going on in/for the family.
• Each one of you.
