Do you ever stop to think about how blessed you are? Every night after I lie down I try to just relax and list five things the day blessed me with and be thankful for each one. I never have trouble listing five. Sometimes they are the same as the day before, sometimes they are really BIG things and other times they are very small. Today I’m sharing my five blessings with you.
1) a beautiful sunny day and time to sit and drink it in
2) a great washer and a clothesline where I can hang the clothes so the sun and wind can dry them
3) the ability to go for a walk
4) enough food to keep my tummy full, including fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots
5) a beautiful flower garden and new mums planted
That’s such a small list, isn’t it? But being thankful every single day for the simple things helps me stop and realize how truly lucky I am.
I have been officially retired for four days now and I have secured a part-time position with Lowes. It will probably be close to full time for the month of October while the store gets stocked but should return to 10 – 30 hours a week in November. I actually hope it’s closer to 20, I want time to be creative. Speaking of which, I’m headed into the “sweatshop” to cut some fabric for a wallhanging for my daughter. It’s supposed to be for Halloween but no one said which year. I guess I better get going, probably won’t get much sewing done in October.
Thanks for stopping by…
