The last week filled me up with productivity. I felt almost- almost- like I was back in the corporate world. Only, I’m in the comfort of my own home-office, looking out my windows at wildlife, and I’m meeting exceptional people and get paid for it. Don’t get me wrong, the corporate world has exceptional people, and I got paid. This seems like more of an adventure. Well, the corporate world is an adventure, too. Anyways, I’m loving this new adventure. And I got the dreaded piece of editing done on my novel.
So here’s the things that are top on my gratitude list this week.
Charitable people. This month I’m interviewing people who give back to the community. What a blessing they are. And some of the fundraisers are so much fun.
- Two paychecks. Two newspapers. Two great freelance jobs.
- Wrestling twins. What a great way for little boys to spend the morning. Mr. Ry had a tough time coming in second, to next to Mr. Ro. After all, Mr. Ry is the older of the two. But look how he mustered up a smile and some sportsmanship.
- Local theatre. I managed to get an outi
ng scheduled for thirteen grandchildren. I expect something will come up, or someone will get sick, but hey that kind of thing happens with kids. I’m so happy we still do this.
- Pretzels dipped in chocolate. Coco and I spent the afternoon finishing her project. Whoops! She’s got another one popping up.
- On-line bargains. I almost feel like I’m saving money this year.
- Friends. I drew a green Christmas wreath on all the days I have a Christmas celebration. Tonight’s my book club. What a group of truly great people.
- Forgiveness. I failed to call Mom today because I was out on the road on a slippery morning. I’m so glad I have a mom like her. Still, I did miss talking to her.
- Potatoes. I’m making some cheesy potatoes for the Book Club party as soon as I hit publish. Which brings me back to Mom. It’s her recipe.
- Christmas wreaths sold for a good cause: one for the front door (Boy Scouts) and one for the back (Youth Group.) Love-one strung battery operated mini-lights. Oh, so great.
