Today I am grateful for:
1. The act of composting. I went out there with my bucket of goodies, plus some chopped up broccoli stalk pieces I had put in the freezer last night (because I had heard that freezing your compost can help with breakdown and my counterside bucket was suffering from a fruitfly infestation and I didn’t want to open it), and gave it a good churn with a layer of more shredded cardboard over top. It’s so cool to see the progress and if you observe long enough you can see many of the creatures that make the magic happen. I’m so glad I’m finally doing something I’ve been wanting to for years.
2. Minimal trash as a result of recycling and composting.
3. J made his yummy garlic broccoli walnut pasta dish and saved me from a meltdown when I had waited too long to get started on making it myself.
4. My friend E whose birthday is today.
5. Getting insurance paid on time after I lost track of the due date. I remembered right when it was due and was able to set up easy pay options online very easily. Phew!
