I came out Thursday morning to make my cinnamon roll deliveries and found a pretty big surprise. I won’t even try to guess what happened. I had parked in the lower driveway to avoid my windshield or car being damaged by falling walnuts… well, the walnuts didn’t get it. 😅
After how hard I’ve been working toward my goals lately, I honestly expected this to feel like a gut punch. And maybe it will tomorrow. But today, more than anything, I’ve just felt gratitude.
Gratitude that we are all okay. Windows can be replaced. The car wasn’t damaged. My family is okay. My home is okay.
Gratitude that my father-in-law had a vehicle I could use so I could still make my deliveries today, and that he immediately started helping us look at quotes for replacement windows.
Gratitude that my body and especially my knee felt good enough today that I could help hubby finish a job he needed to get done.
And gratitude that, at the end of the day, it is going to be okay.
I’ve been working hard toward some goals, and this may change the timeline a little.
That’s okay. I’ll set some new goals once we get through little man’s surgery next week.
Life is always going to throw things at us that we didn’t plan for. Sometimes all we can do is take a look around, realize how much we still have to be thankful for, and keep going.
So today, I’m choosing gratitude.
Let’s keep smiling and finding something to be grateful for even in less-than-desirable situations. ❤️
Have a great weekend everyone.
