Surprise Surprise!

When I thought about moving into this house, I had some expectations...things, if you will, that were going to bother me- maybe grate my nerves. I have found myself in the last week sort of taken aback by what truly has become my irritating factors. Maybe a better perspective would be how much I realized I am thankful for my dark wood floors that don't show constant dirt; and my hot water heater that is bigger and allows for me to take an entire bath of hot water vs only partial. Who knew that cabinets under sinks were so precious?

This list could go on, but the long and short is too often we aren't thankful for what we have. You know- the grass is always greener on the other side; that is until we realize that it was "better in the frying pan than the skillet" (as one of my instructors told me this week.) All to say, don't forget what you have that is a blessing- even the little things.

[And by the way- as I write these, realize I am terrible with grammar and punctuation- I actually see my best friend Emma Annie critiquing it in her mind. Love me anyways and excuse it, please- especially you Emily!]
