Grateful Friday

Oh Friday has come and gone, but I am posting my list anyway.

• I love looking at this picure. There is a 87 year age difference between them- yet they have so much in common. Seriously. They share some of the same passions. Like... saving used wrapping paper just because it is pretty, saving cards, the color purple, the love of birds, and the list goes on and on.
• Started my assignments for my summer classes, even though they officially start next week.
• Received my order from Amazon with 2 books that will help me write all the papers that I need to write.
• The money to pay summer tuition. And the approval for subsidized student loans for next year.
• Sunny weather.
• Baseball has started for my son.
• Maybe taking the kids out for pizza tonight and meeting friends there. Maybe. Not confrimed yet.
• A semi-clean, semi-picked up house at the momment.
• Having lunch with my husband and girls yesturday. Ordering a really good sandwich.
• Making pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns and fruit for supper last night.
• Finally getting my kids to eat pure maple syrup rather that the heavily poisoned high-fructose cornsyrup brands. Now I am working on the yogurt.
• My mother's day presents. Cards, keychain, a ring. Yes I have received them all already. Kids just have to live in the here and now.
• My pre-schooler is speaking kindergarten. "Mom look I made a pattern. Blue, Purple, Blue, Purple.....
• I just feel very blessed that I have plans. That I have family to support me. That I have the resources to go forward. That although I am scared- I know in my heart I am doing the right thing and that it will all work out.
