Gratitude

As we’ve packed up one house and moved it all to another there have been a few things I’ve had to live without. Some in the old house. Some in the new. Some in between.

Now these things aren’t always necessary for survival. I’ve proved that I can indeed live without them. And, really, they’re just things.

Even so they do make life easier. And because of that I hope I never forget to be grateful for them.

So here’s the stuff that I’ve lived without and hope that I never forget to be grateful for.

  • A garbage disposal
  • A dishwasher
  • A garage with which to park my car in
  • A dryer
  • A functioning bathroom sink
  • My camera
  • Enough functioning vehicles for our needs
  • Beds for my kids (well The Boy at least)
  • Pipes that don’t leak
  • Enough bedrooms for our needs
  • An air conditioner that works
  • A place for my sewing machine
  • A place to call home

And yet with all these things I am reminded again just how much I have. All the “things” and everything else. All of which I hope I never forget to be grateful for!
