Weekly Gratitude

• Thank you for the sunshine coming through the front windows this morning, giving me a pleasant place to write a difficult paper.
• Thank you to Josh for being my part-time mechanic and therefore saving me a boat-load of money. On Monday he texted me with, “I was just thinking, and your oil really needs to be changed so Friday-Saturday at the latest, we need to get the stuff needed to hook your car up, so if you can, keep that in mind.” Last night we picked up oil, an oil filter, new tail light bulbs and wipers and he’s out there now working on my car.
• Thanks again to Josh for his stellar food delivery skills. (I’m seeing a pattern here).
• Thanks to my girlfriends for poking me about lunch plans. I have lunch plans tomorrow with a friend, dinner with two others next Saturday, and need to find a date for lunch plans for another. I’m not the best at reaching out, but I’m working on it.
• Thank you to tax returns! Some people complain about tax time, but I look forward to it. I received my state returns this week and I’m anxiously awaiting my federal. 
• Thank you to Living Social for your awesome movie ticket deal this week. Josh and I are having fun trying to decide which movie to see either this weekend or next. 
• Thank you to my parents for making a home-cooked meal whenever I visit (this past Sunday) and always sending me home with organic eggs and other goodies which now often include knitting needles and hand dyed yarns. 
• Thank you for the blessing of our Shyyann being pregnant. Sweet puppies will be arriving before we know it.
• Thanks to the promise of Spring. A few of my flowers are starting to poke up in their beds. I look forward to seeing how my newly planted garden faired in the winter and planting more this year. Not to mention, Spring clothes and shoes!
• Thanks to Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. ‘Nuff said.
