Month of Gratitude, week four

So, this is it – the last day of November, and the last day of the Month of Gratitude project.  Did you enjoy yourselves?  I hope so.  My own month was inconvenient health-wise, and the tendency to get fed up with neck aches, fevers, sniffles, and antibiotics was present throughout much of it.  But times like those make it all the more important, I think, to seek out the good and be grateful for it.  I’m 100% healthy now, and Aidan’s course of antibiotics (and his constant coughing) are history as well, so we can go into December on a much less bothersome note.  And that is something to be grateful for!

• luck at the thrift shop
• music, and the squeezebox that sends it through my stereo system
• good food and good company
• shopping after the crowds have gone home
• charm packs
• a new cousin for my boys
• kitchen gadgets, in particular my bread machine
• the community I’ve found through my blog

And in case it wasn’t obvious, by that last one I mean YOU 🙂
