A thankful week

After venting all week long, I thought I would write a short post on the things I am thankful for just this past week.

1!!! Lia is potty trained. I can't believe it. She has not had an accident in two weeks. After a year of effort I am so relieved to have cleared this hurdle.
2. I am thankful for laughter. Lots of people made me laugh this week and laughing is my favorite thing to do. Luckily I have lots of funny friends, funny kids and a funny husband (one of the reasons I married him is because he makes me laugh.).
3. I am grateful for my writing group. I really love the women who share their writing with me every month. They keep me motivated.
4. I am grateful for my friend Heather who doesn't care if my house is clean or if I fall asleep while watching conference with her.
5. I am so happy my raspberry bush is producing raspberries finally. They are so yummy.
6. Yeah! Soccer is over.
7. I am grateful my husband watches the kids all the time without complaining.
8. I am grateful it rained all Saturday because I am lazy and did not want to water the garden. It was also fun to watch my girls play in the rain.
9. I am grateful my little brother called to talk to me on the phone. I am always amazed when my brothers call me.
10. I am grateful one of my two ovens is working. I was really ready to have my oven back.

Expressing gratitude is always a good thing. It seems to take away most of the negative feelings we may be having.
Thanks for sharing.
