What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Hashi]

I had to make a day trip today, and had nearly reached the train station (about 10 minutes' walk away from my house) when I noticed someone in a flourescent jacket on the opposite side of the road waving and calling out to me. It was our postperson, and he wanted to tell me he had a package for me so I wouldn't miss it, being out, then have to wait until I could pick it up after Christmas.

He had to excavate it from the bottom of his trolley, since we were so far from my house and the post for other streets was on top of it. I was amazed he recognised me, and that he knew he had a package for me.

I was grateful for his thoughtfulness, but also because I don't live in the nicest area and sometimes that gets me down. He reminded me that there are still nice people in it.

I am grateful that the siding guy came and fixed the soffit as it was coming down before the winter storm/blizzard came through. Although the winds came up in the evening with the snow, I didn't have to worry about it.

I'm grateful the phone woke me up from a bad dream. Now if the wind will die down I can get back to sleep. LOL.

I am grateful for human contact that I felt today. It wasn't deep and meaningful. It was just having a soya smoothie and a piece of fish. But it was contact.

I am grateful that I am going to my daughters house today, to celebrate Christmas with them.

I'm grateful for the wonderful pictures of my 3 grand-children (eldest son's kids) that my son and daughter-in-law gave me for Christmas. That soooo pleased me as they didn't know what to give me.

I'm grateful that I was able to spend Christmas day with my boys, father in law, and hubby.

I am grateful that I spent the day with my daughter and her family. The kids had a blast opening their presents. They were playing with their new toys up until we had to leave. Now we are home and we are stuffed. It was wonderful. Now I am all cozy in my sweats. Watching Christmas movies. My husband is not feeling very good.

I'm grateful that my husband and boys pickup the slack around here of what I could not do, such as taking care of the pets, because of my surgery and healing. Well my husband usually doesn't complain, but the boys do from time to time. They are teenagers after all. So I am very grateful they are taking care of me.
