thankful thursdays 9/16

* My new Vita-mix container came today! My mother bought it for me clear back on January 8th and through a paperwork glitch we have been working on it getting delivered ever since. They finally found the missing paperwork on Tuesday and immediately sent out the container with their apologies. Supposedly they are sending their Live Free cookbook as “we-are-so-sorry-we-failed-so-thoroughly-on-customer-service” and I can’t wait to try out some new recipes. I’m thankful they finally listened to me and solved the problem.

* I am thankful for my gymnastics classes. They help me stay in shape and the best part is the relationships I get to have with children and their families. I love my students and am so grateful to play a small part in their lives.

* My little guy is turning seven on Sunday! I have a whole post about him in the works, but for right now I want to say “Thank you for giving me this special boy who melts my heart, teaches me to value and not compare, and helps me see the world with wonder and curiosity.”

* Sunshine and blue skies…love, love, love September.

* I attended a meeting on Sunday where I was encouraged to invest in others more and to learn to communicate with my unique spiritual language. It was a message I needed and have been pondering all week.

* Sewing class. Keziah takes an awesome class taught by the lovely Miss Kat and this week she learned to make a bag out of a pillowcase. She used one of my grandmother’s pillow cases and it turned out adorable! Kat has a gift of helping children see themselves as competent and then gives them the tools to help them actually become competent. I am so grateful to have her as a mentor in my children’s lives.

* Relationships. I am grateful for the family, friends, and associates I am blessed to have in my life. I learn so much from my interactions with them. I am enriched, encouraged, and enlivened. I can’t imagine my life without such a rich network of people and I am enormously grateful for each of them.

Fisher is ready to play a math game with me so I am going to go enjoy watching his brain crunch some numbers.
