It's been a few days cause we've been pretty busy since the end of last week. We finally got our keys and got to spend some time painting the house. It was a lot of fun especially with our good friends there to help us - thank you so much J&R! You guys are the best. I didn't make my gratitude list for a few days but I did catch myself still recognizing things to be grateful for which was cool. However, there is something about the act of making the list that is therapeutic too. By yesterday I began to feel pretty off but I did my list again earlier today. School started again for me today. It was nice to get back to class it's been over 6 months and I missed it.

Good things:

1. Healthy children.
2. Starting the day with gratitude.
3. Getting the keys to the house and getting started on some painting.
4. My parents helping us rent out the condo so we could buy a bigger place without having to sell the current place.
5. Seeing the difference gratitude makes in my life. Just a few days off is enough to notice my perspective skewing.

20. Healthy children - this one is worth being double grateful for. I am so blessed.
