ER=100x

Today I’m grateful that my husband made it home safely – although the 4 hour trip turned out to be 6 hours!

I’m grateful that I had problems with the car a couple of weeks ago which required me to take it in last week for a repair that could have been dangerous on the winding roads he had to travel.

I’m grateful that while he was gone I had the opportunity to go through some of my dad’s old stuff, clean out several boxes and set up my new “play” area.

I’m grateful that when I was ready to buy a kiln last summer my glass bead teacher decided to sell hers – which gave me the chance to do some playing this weekend.

I’m grateful that the raise I didn’t get for the past couple of years came as a lump sum “bonus” so that I could buy several new glass working “toys” and that this last weekend I could play with them.

I’m grateful that I got to go out for dinner tonight and didn’t have to eat more of that excellent turkey stew I made on Thanksgiving Day (which has been really good, but after 2 full days of it, it’s nice to have a change), plus I didn’t have to do the dishes!

And, I’m extremely grateful that my dear husband is in the living room, building a fire, and we have the whole evening together.
