here on Clay Pit Creek...

I'm grateful for friends. I'm grateful for little girls. I'm grateful for s'mores. I'm grateful for parades! Crossing my fingers for the beach later today.

I'm grateful for all the excitement. I'm grateful to be in charge. I'm grateful for grilled chicken and half days. Grateful that I feel good. Grateful that I have fun BEA plans.

Also grateful for a wonderful Mother's Day. Grateful that Ava is okay.

I am grateful for opportunity. I'm grateful for Andrew. I'm grateful for all of the great places I've gone over the last few years. I'm grateful.

I'm grateful for lilacs. I'm grateful for this job opportunity. I'm grateful for rainy soft days and looking out my window. Yesterday was a difficult day. I have a job opportunity, which is great, but a little stressful. All iof Maddie's activities are culminating on the same day in June.  All my babysitters turned me down for Saturday night. I had two glasses of wine before bed to lose my knot of tension. Today already seems better.

I'm grateful for my good nights sleep. I'm grateful for my comfy house. I'm grateful for coffee. I'm grateful to have my reservations done. I'm grateful for the publicity people.

I'm grateful to be home, for all of Maddie's affection, and for neelam. I'm grateful the truck lives. I'm sad the blossoms are done.
