Gratitude:
Nov. 4 - Friday
1. My friend and her saw. My friend came to my basement and cut all the baseboards for me with her awesome saw.
2. My other friend helped me to put nails in the baseboards by hand until we could get a nail gun. She then watched Jack for me for a long time.
3. Fall leaves. My kids and neighborhood kids have been playing in my leaves all week.
Nov. 5 - Saturday
1. My neighbor, who brought his nail gun over and then taught me how to use it, I then nailed in all the baseboards.
2. My friend, who came over again to help me in my basement for many hours.
3. My husband, who went to the grocery store and let me take a nap. He then came home and had a delicious dinner waiting for me after I woke up.
4. My vacuum, my floors were so filthy and my vacuum worked so quickly!
5. 409, because I had to clean up hidden flood damage in the basement. 409 works well!
Nov. 6 - Sunday
1. Daylight savings time. My children and I slept in until 8:30, but really it was 7:30! Which means we got to sleep in and have an extra hour. Miracle of miracles to have children sleep in on daylight savings day.
2. Family pictures. We are having our family pictures taken today by a friend, who also happens to be a professional photographer.
3. Breakfast. My children have quietly sat as I typed this list out, eating their breakfast, and chatting with each other. It's a good day if I can already find three things to be grateful for by breakfast.

what a year you've had! and now to be able to be grateful for coming back from the challenges, is perfect.
It's humbling when we start making lists of things to be grateful for. So many things we take for granted. Like wonderful nieces...
