Friday night grateful moment

ongish week around here (see image above). Some challenges on the farm-front. But some good stuff too, of course!

We're headed into spring break. How fabulous is that? I am grateful for a whole week, with a weekend on each end, with my men. Sweet!

I am grateful for our wonderful sunsets lately. They are quite fitting for driving off into... haven't done that yet, but have been tempted.

I'm grateful for perseverance and hard work. We had an irrigation crew here this week tackling what seemed to be a simple project, but as it went along there were complications and mysteries and unknown factors. I'm talking about pipe here, folks. This should be simple. But it wasn't. Yet the owner dude kept on it until a solution was found. And, we have water going to all the right places at the right times once again.

I'm grateful for reminders. Because, frankly, I need them. I seem to have the attention span of a gnat, some days. Did you see Modern Family this week, with the whole ADHD thing... hmmm. I can relate!

I am so thankful for husband, and our lunchtime rituals. I know people who don't get to see their spouse all day and I guess that might work (even be a good thing) for them (or, of course, maybe they don't have a choice); I like a little mid-day viewing of the significant other.

I am thankful for support and friendship. I really have the best friends. I know people who have to deal with catty, competitive friends (not sure friends is the right word to use there) and I just know I'm so grateful to not have THAT. Whether I see a dear friend once a week or once a year, I am blessed for the interaction.

I'm grateful for coffee. One of my favorite aspects to every morning. It's completely ritualized for me. Heaven in a cup.
 
I'm thankful for blue jeans. I'm in a bit of a dress-down phase right now and it feels good. I don't usually look appropriate to visit husband at work most days (yes, that casual!), so occasionally I have to throw on something decent. (Side note: in my spring cleaning recently, I pulled out an old box of blue jeans from just 5-7 years ago. Oh wow. How dated! Did we really wear jeans like that so recently? "Mom Jeans." Yikes. Well, maybe it was just me and no one thought to tell me. Thanks. Maybe I take it back about the "I have such good friends" comment above. Or not. Maybe you were wearing them too...)

I'm thankful for Twitter. I know, Twitter has its haters. But I never fail to get some good information or at the very least a good chuckle. It's easy to get addicted and sucked into it, so Twitter boundaries (would that be Twoundaries?) are necessary. But once you have those in place, it's a fun little addition to the world.

Still in love with (thankful for!) my Daisy perfume. Is it wrong to say that I like to smell myself? I hope not. You know what I mean.

Can you make out the words in the picture above? When I saw it I just knew I had to grab it and use it! Because that's what I wish for you, every weekend.
