Monday: a surprising number of blessings

 

 

As I wrote else where....

Time for a Thank God thanksgiving list!

 1. I finally used the rest of my birthday money (so 4.5 months later) for some Harney and Son's Decaf Paris tea, which is one of my most favourite teas!  [Thanks to my Mom!!!]

2. I made roasted baby potatoes with Italian parsley today.

 3. I made lamb chunk and onion kabobs in the toaster oven. Worked great. I liked them better the second day and third day better than the first time. Somethings just get better with time! 

4. I did something I have not done in months! I have VERY slowly been working on a few essays and actually got out the folder that they are in and edited one (each essay needs many edits which is no surprise if one knows me!). I would say all of March was spent in a state of a lot of activity and higher stress (no grocery delivery slots/getting a slot only in the middle of the night). Slowly things got a bit easier and once I got a delivery slot for groceries my stress from that particular issue lessened. But today was the first day that I actually had any ability to do such thinking and the essay I was editing has had many edits, so it was not as hard as earlier edits would have been. But still, for me, that was a huge accomplishment.

5. I had TWO walks today. the first walk I did by myself (I think my beloved did not mind having a bit of time in the house to himself) and I meandered in a small newly-opened again park and just took in all the GREEN. Newly cut grass, trees, a flowering bush. I went real slow and just enjoyed it and took pictures. 

6. I get groceries delivered tomorrow and a pizza is included 

7. I ordered some summer (beret style) hats via etsy for a good price! I am so thankful.
