Grateful Thoughts

I have found it difficult to keep up with the network charade of blogging, with all the events and activities that have taken much of my time. I could hold the holiday season accountable for my lack thereof, but that just wouldn’t be a respectable thing to do. After all, I do favor this time of year, as it brings me great joy. My in-laws just turned 50 this year, and we had a great time surprising them with a party involving several close friends and family. Thanksgiving was pleasant this year, with lots of food to be enjoyed several times over. I am grateful we could spend it with both sides of the family. This year was the first time we ever got up before the crack of dawn to dash to all the “early bird specials” throughout many of the department stores this year, to shop for all the special people on our list. Although there were masses of people scrambling with urgency to find all the best deals, it was a breeze for us. With the anticipation of Christmas, I was excited to begin decorating the house and putting up the Christmas tree. I had to hassle with the Christmas lights, as many of the sets we have had burned out, or only half of the sets were working. I’m happy to say that my frustration is over, the decorations are out, and the tree is proudly displaying the colors of Boise State Football. In addition to my part-time job at the mini storage, and my service to Primerica, I’m also cleaning homes as a side job to make some additional income. So, there seems to be no end to my crazy, busy life. But, I’m grateful to have a job, a roof over my head, clothes to wear, food to eat, and all the little things in life that bring me the greatest happiness.
