The good thing about my resolution to find something new to give thanks for everyday is that it keeps me mentally occupied when stuck in the house. Today was day two of a sick kid on the couch and a dog who refused to get off the bed...
I am thankful that even doing only one or two loads of laundry makes me feel productive. Laundry is really such a lightweight chore but it somehow always make me feel like I have accomplished something. So, yes, I am thankful for laundry! And that the chocolate did finally come out of my new white skirt.
Watching her spring to life from a dead sleep at the sound of the sugar snap pea bag being opened, I am so grateful for my wonderfully unique old soul dog who has been a part of our family for nearly seven years. At nine, she makes me smile everyday. I am also thankful that she gets up early in the morning to see the paramedic off to work... and let's me sleep right through it.
I give thanks for Arrowroot cookies; so delicious and kind to my 80 year old man stomach.
I am thankful that the lazy dog only cried periodically after I locked him out of our room in an effort to keep him off the freshly laundered sheets. I guess I should also be thankful that he hasn't discovered the freshly painted guest room in the basement complete with queen size bed and down comforter.
Finally, I say a big thank you to my own will power and my refusal to continue watching the Real Housewives of Vancouver. They make me so ashamed to be from Vancouver and I only pray that none of those women are actually from Vancouver. Jodi might honestly be the root of all evil; and her husband is definitely a saint.
