I find myself Thankful this evening... I am so Thankful for many things but today its the basic essentials that we all take for granted that I am so thankful to have. Take air conditioning and heat for instance... we don't think twice about it when we are all toasty and warm in our homes when its cold outside. There are homeless people sleeping in the freezing cold! Of course something sparked these thoughts. I woke up this morning to a freezing house and we had no power. So I was up 7 am no HOT shower and NO COFFEE... But we made do I decided to bundle the kiddos up (because it was 60 some odd degrees in the house) and if we are up this early might as well do something. I had some errands to run and decided to take the girls to storytime at our library. Don't ya know... as soon as I have everybody ready and about to walk out the door the power comes back on! Oh well... we headed out anyways.
Another thing that I am thankful for is a working dishwasher. I haven't done a kitchen full of dishes by hand in a long time. It is now out of the norm if you DON'T have a dishwasher. How did we ever survive! lol I am glad that I don't have to find out. I must of been in the kitchen for over an hour! YUCK! The dishwasher that was here when we moved in didn't work good so my in-laws had a new one installed last Thursday. I was soooo excited! I never had a brand new dishwasher before and didn't have a second thought that it wouldn't work right... well it is worse than the old one! It leaves a soapy residue on the dishes. Anywho... having to do a sink full and a dishwasher full of dishes tonight by hand had me very thankful for a working dishwasher. I am getting another new one tomorrow! (hope it works!)
Simple things yes.... but I want to count my blessings and be THANKFUL in all things!
