A very good friend of mine is about to go on a stricter shelter-in-place order where she lives. She has great Faith and always expresses gratitude in her life. As she often does, she inspired me today.
Here are things I am grateful for today:
+Both my husband and I chose wisely.
+My grandson has had a couple of good days while still in the hospital, including finishing a bottle, which is a big deal. That goes hand-in-hand with the great support of his mom and dad, and the prayers of so many people in all our lives.
+My children are old enough to entertain themselves.
+My mom has my nephew living with her so neither are alone right now.
+I have two great mentors in California.
+My job is such I can work from home.
+Cow manure for my vegetable garden arrived.
+The lily’s I recently planted are starting to sprout.
+A dog is a huge comfort.
+I have a circle of friends who lift me up and call me out.
+Siblings.
