Everything Changes

Tonight I am Grateful for~
  • Richard encouraging me not to settle.
  • His idea of covering up the hideous brown paint on the floor of my studyroom with the light blue/gray stain we used on our porch.
  • Realizing there is a light grayish blue in the chair that I want for the room. So the blue floor will be a perfect compliment to the room.
  • Shaina's manager, Shannon buying our lunch when we stopped at Potbelly to eat today.
  • My bedroom finally being a sanctuary to retreat to, instead of a dumping ground for stuff.
  • The neighbors deciding to plant new lilac bushes in their yard beside our driveway.
  • Kathy suggesting that we could both take some of the small sprouts from the existing lilac bush that was pulled out (I was distressed. That bush is the beautiful backdrop for the pictures from Shaina first prom). Now parts of the bush will live on.
  • That she even offered some sprouts from a bush in the front of her yard.
  • Yet another instance of someone helping with the beautification of our home.
  • Submitting an application for a work-study position on campus that totally fits my past experience and future goals.
  • Richard being open to getting someone to clean the house this fall/winter while I'm in school.
  • Being able to pay for it when I get the work study position.
  • Being mentioned in someone's glog (have I said before how much I appretiate being mentioned?)
  • Picking up my book from Borders today, and a couple of curtain rods for the house and finally, the new to us chair w/ottoman for the livingroom.
  • Bud and Nancy, Bud and Nancy, Bud and Nancy, we never would've made it without them. Heck, we still wouldn't be making it without them.
  • That they came to a campfire last night before leaving for California today.
  • Meeting our "new" neighbor Andy and his sister (Andy moved in just before the holidays last year).
  • Getting a chance to play Mama Bird again to Amira last night.
  • The enjoyment I get from giving nurturing.
  • You, baby bird, you.

Love, Sharon
