Gratitude

A short list of things I am grateful for today:

1)My husband - he works hard everyday to take care of us in one way or another.

2)My kids - they like lemonade popsicles and Kirby.

3)Songs that bring back good memories - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da played on the radio today, and I just had to dance. They used to play it at all the camp dances I went to when I was a kid.

4)Cool breezes that make it feel like summer isn't quite here yet.

5)Walking to get my mail from the mailbox - a few minutes to myself and the chance to enjoy the previously mentioned breeze.

Fresh Squeezed Lemonade

Funny thing about planning to list out things I am grateful for each day. It's leading me to notice more and more things about which I am grateful. By adjusting my focus, I am seeing more positives in the day.

I just finished making a batch of fresh squeezed lemonade. I am grateful for the wonderful juicer my mother gave to me a lot of years back (it was the one we had when I was a kid and she decided I would get more use out of it than she would).

I am also grateful for our lemon tree that still has many more lemons on it than I will possibly be able to use this year (but I'm trying).

We end up with lots of lemonade and lemonade pops.
