I sure did not want to go to work this evening, though I always enjoy myself once I get there. It is very strenuous work: pulling things from the freezer, heavy lifting, a lot of bending and standing and pulling and pushing. There’s a lot to throw out at night and the bags of trash can be very heavy. There’s a lot of restocking to do. The most pleasant part is waiting on customers and selling the wonderful bakery items that make everyone say oooooohhhhhh.
At any rate, I took a quiet, prayerful walk through my house, from room to room, before I left for work, just thinking of all that I am thankful for and knowing that I can just trust that — for now — I am doing what I should be doing.
A comfy old rocker that someone was going to just throw out, but dear husband rescued it for me.
Really nice coffee table books. They go great with a cup of hot tea.
A bright hallway for my plants in the wintertime.
New pillow shams in the perfect shade of blue and silver.
An old armoir I found for 25 dollars for my daughter’s room.
Not just old family photographs, but looking at them and feeling thankfulness that my mother-in-law raised a good son and taught him to work hard; wondering about what kind of people they were who had my father-in-law, to be strong enough to settle the mountains and actually survive. Marveling at the resemblance between my boys and their father’s people.
Life is a wonder.
