Attitude of Gratitude Day 9

This is more a basic list today.

1. Shelter (Had a conversation with Aimee today about living in different circumstances. I often lament not having a house of my own but as there are always people who have it 'better' than you, there are always those who have it 'worse' as well. Who have less. I am blessed to live with a roof over my head, in an insulated dwelling, with carpeted (not dirt) floors. To have refrigeration for my food and running water and amenities.)

2. Carrots in a Cup (Nice to have something immediately tangible that takes no preparation!)

3. Washer (Steve often talks of how the people he knew in Mexico did most of their washing by hand using a washboard. As I am less dedicated to that type of tenacity I am really glad to have a washer!)

4. Phone (Still such a good thing to call people and hear a friendly voice on the other end of the line).

5. Prayers (The prayers of my husband and my friends have been what have kept me going. Today the pain is worse and I am trying to decide if I should go back to the doctor's ASAP. I think prayer is sustaining me and I hope it continues to do so until this is all sorted out.)

Consider the blessings in your lives and write them down so you can go back to them again!
