November 17

I am grateful tonight for days spent at home, for energetic project days and making change in our home.  I am grateful for our cooperative children.  And for educational television programming that made a day of projects possible.  I am grateful for the burst of sunshine this afternoon, for a quick walk through the gully across the street, for my curious children balancing on fallen logs and poking around in the undergrowth. After scoping out the derelict state of the two vacant houses there, I am even more grateful for my cozy, solid home.  I am grateful for healthy children, a husband who supports my crazy ideas, and a snuggly spaniel.  I am grateful for this weekend that felt almost long enough to get everything done.
