Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.

I came home from work and saw that the kitchen table was cleaned off. On it there was a plate with a five dollar bill. A note on the kitchen table that said

Dear Dad
by yourself a pizza.
I did a weks worth of Hand writing and hafe a wecks wurf of English.
And i unloaded the dishewasher.

The problem with our mappings is getting fixed and I won’t have to redo all the work I’ve done this last week.
I took my bike out for a spin. It’s my first bike ride of the year.
I listened to a guided relaxation exercise on a downloaded podcast. I thought the woman had a beautiful voice.
I bought a nice day pack. I wasn’t sure my $10 Wal-mart special would survive a week at camp.
I had the best dinner I have ever had at Long John Silver (I mean compared to other trips to that particular chain).

A wonderful walk. Too bad I didn’t have a car, I would have gone to a park.
Watching Simpsons and Doomsday Preppers on TV.
I prepared myself a Salmon dinner.
I fixed the dishwasher and it was quite easy. The hardware store sells a bottle that looks like whiteout. It covers the rust spots where the plastic has worn through.

A quiet day at work.
A pizza party with the Venturing crew. I gave them each a hat I bought and they seemed to like them.
I didn’t have to work Friday night. I now have to check in on Sunday.
Watching a movie (Follow Me Boys). It’s one I’ve wanted to see since around Christmas time. I’m glad I got to finally watch it.

Snowblowers. It would have broken by back to shovel all of it.
Slacking off Working from home.

Guinness. I tried their black beer. It was delicious.
Boxing. I watch a great match, and two boring ones.

Reading at lunchtime.
Venturing meeting with my daughter. It was short and fun.
Human knot. Everyone held on to a rope and we had to make a knot in the middle of it. After we had to untie it using the other end.
My daughter and I had our after meeting snack at McD’s.
DW appologized for acting like a bitch all night.

An enjoyable day working at home.
Getting an email from a 43Ter.
Watching the scouts practice survival skills by making a shelter in the snow.
Helping to start a fire.
Climbing though the snow tunnel they made. They said I wouldn’t be able to make it through, and I took that as a challenge. It was a tight squeeze, but I made it.
