My Daily Gratitudes

1. I am grateful for having a husband who's more than handy. In the olden days, back when we were first married, had no kids, and the man had five friggin weeks of vacation, Mark ripped our entire kitchen down to the bare brick walls before he and my father installed our new kitchen, including all the plumbing and electric. Now it's 14 years later and our life is a tad busier than our DC days. Even so, he does as much as he can in the little free time he has and takes pride in a job well done which, by the way, it always is.

2. As I listen to the President's State of the Union address, I am grateful for living in America where we have freedom and choice.

3. I am grateful for today's warmer temperature which makes me think of spring flowers, long walks around the neighborhood, and tennis!

4. I am grateful to be involved in Operation Bookworm, a program in my daughter's class that allows me to go in and read with the kids for an hour each week.

5. I am grateful for good books! I am currently reading the Hunger Games trilogy (just started book #3) and love being engrossed in the printed word rather than passing my time in front of the tv or the computer. Okay, now back to my book!
