I am grateful I am surrounded by a wonderful family, kindhearted friends, a faithful church, and good neighbors.

It was a good summer break, but I am grateful that school starts again in 5 days.

I got a check today that will cover the boys’ school shoes.

I am appreciated in my work on the church board. The pastors are supportive of my new project, and the moderator of the deacons asked for me to attend and give input at a strategy meeting.

The adoption agency is working on our homestudy again after being distracted by an agency audit.

A recent med adjustment for our oldest son raised our quality of life beyond our expectations for a solid two weeks or so. Once he recovers from the stress of school starting, we have hope it will again.

I get to sleep in a little tomorrow then have brunch with my parents.
