and for all of its blessings: I have a roof over my head, clothes to wear, food to eat and the companionship of sweetest little dog and and the most persnickety cat in the whole world. I am thankful for my dear friend Ariela who came by with a lovely lunch of salad and pizza on Tuesday. I am thankful for the two friends who called me out of the blue this week and made two long evenings a little less lonely. I am thankful for my faithful client and friend Jonathan who was willing to pay me early this month and for my friend Richard who picked up the part for my car and then drove me to the bank. I am thankful for the Pad Thai I had for lunch and for someone to eat with besides Aggie - as much as I love her - and that Richard speaks in complete sentences and doesn't beg for food from my plate. I am grateful for the check that awaited me in my mailbox upon my return home. I am especially thankful for my friend Long who in a matter of minutes changed the starter on my little car - a potentially huge repair that only cost me $47.93. I've spent much of the last week feeling a little sorry for myself and worrying about stuff I have no control over. Sometimes it's a good thing to just calm your mind, let the worry go and count your many blessings.
Hang in there girl! There's a little "something" coming in the mail tomorrow that will hopefully make you smile. It's not $$$ but it should make you smile.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring post today, Dawn. I think sometimes we get so bogged down with what we don't have, that we forget ALL the wonderful things we do have. Thank you for reminding us to keep things in perspective.
