Gratitude/Happiness List
Week of September 7
Joining with Laurel Regan’s Gratitude
linkup at Alphabet Salad.
Here are some things I’m grateful for and
that have made me happy this week:
☼ My hand and wrist
are nearly completely healed. My last therapy visit was today, and my doctor
cleared me to go back to work. I can even start crocheting again—slowly and for
short times.
☼
Delicious whole-grain bread from our local bakery.
☼
That we had a last week of hot summer weather before fall starts moving in.
☼
Our upcoming weekend trip to Baltimore.
☼
Having some time to start and work at practicing Zentangle, which I’m really enjoying.
☼
Community events like Cyclovia, in which about a mile of the street is closed
to traffic for the benefit of walkers, bicyclists, inline skaters, etc., and including
food trucks, entertainment, health and fitness information, and a dog dress-up
contest!
☼
Getting maybe our last chance this year to eat outside at a restaurant with our
dog.
☼
Having the Boston Red Sox’ Triple-A team, the Pawtucket Red Sox, playing just a
few miles from our home and being in the playoff finals.
☼
That said, I’m grateful that my husband is patient with me when I get cranky
because a ballgame goes into extra innings. He loves it; I just want to go home
(it’s after 10 o’clock and getting chilly!), and I grumble things like “Why
can’t baseball games end within a civilized length of time like other sports?”
☼
Gentle, warm breezes.
☼
The beautiful flowers (even roses!) and flowering bushes that are still around
in nearly mid-September.
What a fun list, especially the ballgame one. Yes, we have that issue, too! SF Giants.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol. Your Giants are doing well again this year with a good chance at the playoffs. Not so with the Red Sox (sigh). I do like baseball; I just don't like it lasting into the wee hours!
DeleteLovely list! So glad your hand and wrist are healing well... all the better to tangle!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurel! Yes, I was getting impatient to start tangling, and now I can!
DeleteGlad that you have recovered. Have a nice trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. I'm sure we will.
DeleteI've never lasted to the end any of the baseball games I've been to (maybe a half dozen!) :) Nice list as always - have to admit, you had me at the picture of the breads!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I have no problem with nine innings--it's just after that that I get restless. But last night the PawSox played 12 innings and won, and I loved it because I was home, warm in my comfortable chair, listening on the radio!
