Today finds me slightly under the weather- not really sick, but not feeling in top shape either. My Husband and I both lost Aunts this past week. So as I sip some tea and eat a piece of dry toast, I’ll try to figure out what to be grateful for.
- My friend got some great news about her child. Really, is there any other than knowing your child is going to be OK?
- hot tea
- toasted 7 grain bread
- sympathy cards that aren’t too cutesy or overly sappy
- little kids in costume with nice manners (my daughter: you can take more than I piece of candy- little kid: no. That’s ok. one is enough. Thank you!!)
- teenagers who get involved in spirit week at school and show me pictures
- my daughter learned to put on tights
- wishes that can come true
- We bought candy that I don’t like
- freshy laundered sheets
- Senior portrait in the black drape, especially when it comes out pretty
I put on fresh sheets yesterday and it’s always the best sleep that first night. 😊

I’m so sorry you both lost an aunt in the same week.
I’m grateful I resisted the urge to buy candy. We bought Kit Kats, which we plan to dole out to neighbor Logan when he comes over to visit.
