Blessings for August 7th

D2 and D3 left this morning for a vacation with their Dad. They'll be gone for 10 days and I'm sure will have a lot of fun. It's pretty quiet around here already. D1 is usually sleeping in the morning, working in the afternoon and hanging out with her friends these last few weeks of summer. We don't see much of her - just here and there between work, lunch, and activities. I don't have a lot planned while they are gone but want to catch up here and there on house stuff and enjoy the TV with GG. The thought of a week without Josh and Drake, Spongebob, Hannah Montana and the like is pretty refreshing LOL.

For my blessing today I found myself thinking about it a lot. It was one of the first things that would pop in my brain whenever I became frustrated (work, kids, etc.). I realized that its next to impossible to think of a true gift or blessing in my life when I am in that mood. I have to draw myself out of it and look at the day entirely different. That's been interesting and I think will be helpful in the future. So on to the true point....my blessing(s) for today.

I am blessed with a nice home to return to each night, no matter what the mess. I have a place to sit, a place to eat and a place to lay my head at night. This I know is far more than some have and I need to remember how much of a blessing this truly is.

Home Sweet Home is truly a blessing.
