My Gratitude/Happiness List –April 13, 2014

My latest linkup with Laurel Regan’s Gratitude List at Alphabet Salad: here are some things for which I'm grateful and that made me happy this week.

☼  Listing our “other” house, a three-family, for sale

 

☼  Attending an excellent performance of Macbeth at a local theater

☼  Having a variety of small independent shops in our neighborhood, at one of which I just bought a new dress for Easter!

☼  Seeing a great concert by Manhattan Transfer with friends

☼  Watching my husband bowl in a tournament for charity and, in the penny social raffle they had, winning gift certificates for three free pizzas at a place we haven’t tried

☼  Having our taxes finished and filed and getting a refund

☼  Weather warm and beautiful enough to go outside without a jacket and jog on the streets again

☼  Finally winning a trivia competition after teaming up with two other people who knew a lot of the music and pop culture stuff that we didn’t

☼  That my temporary stomach upset Sunday morning cleared up in time for me to participate in Palm Sunday Mass as a lector and take one of the roles in the reading of the Passion

☼  Having the opportunity to be a lector at church

☼  Going for my yearly checkup and learning I lost 5 pounds since last year!
