gratitude

I am grateful for:

1.  Good friends who will come through in a pinch when I need them. 
2.  A child care plan that came together quickly for my back-to-school week, after what I thought was going to be a workable plan did not work out. Reference number one.
3.  A husband who calls when he finds himself unexpectedly in an situation he is not sure I would be ok with, just to check.
4.  The ability to pay it forward.
5.  Connecting with family far away.
6.  Lots of rain this week.  'Cause I surely hate to water the outside plants!
7.  The aggravating clutter in my house, because it indicates the abundance with which we are blessed.
