I don’t have a theme for today’s thankfulness. I don’t have energy to come up with a theme. But I’m thankful nonetheless.
Today I’m thankful…
…for the package that arrived at the House of Dreams today
…for the internet that got hooked up in the House of Dream yesterday
…for dinner and a movie with my roommate
…for new renters for the townhouse that mean Casandra and I can save ourselves a month of rent by moving out early
…for bright pink shoes and the joy they bring to my residents
…for compliments from coworkers (I am way too blessed!)
…for very helpful Menards salespeople (I’m sorry that the rest of you don’t experience the same service I do–have you tried shopping for hardware wearing a skirt and heels?)
…for my sister and I both being home at last
…for the nap I took in the car yesterday BEFORE I fell asleep at the wheel (as opposed to the one I took a week ago AFTER falling asleep at the wheel–talk about scary)
…for the grace of God that has brought me safe thus far–and the grace that will lead me safely through these last few weeks of craziness too.
I loved getting to spend time with you. It has been far too long.
Very glad that you are ok. Falling asleep after getting behind the wheel is no laughing matter! Take time to rest!
Happy that things continue to move forward on the house!
That’s for sure, Carrie–I’ve officially decided that it’s better to be 15 minutes late because I pulled off the road to take a 15 minute catnap in my car than to not make it entirely because I fell asleep at the wheel. I’m thankful that neither I nor anyone else was injured when I fell asleep–but I’m not willing to take any chances. I’m trying to get more sleep at night–and am stopping for naps as soon as I start getting drowsy. I haven’t had any close calls in my past five trips up and down (lots of traveling this past week!)–and I’m planning on keeping it that way.
Whew, that’s scary! We were almost in a head-on collision on Sunday, and I’m sure it was only the grace of God that spared us. I’ll think of you and pray for you as you’re spending more-than-normal amounts of time on the road!
And thankful is always good, with or without a theme! :)
