This Week in Joy and Thanks 2

Gratitude List

21-27 July 2017

Last week's post can be found here. This is something I began doing over three years ago as part of my PTSD treatment. I've continued the lists because they are helpful.

Friday 21

• I began writing these lists again after too long a lull
• We found great plumbers who worked us in before the weekend.
• The feeling of working sinks!
• Fresh groceries
• Our family triforce charms arrived: T is power, B is strength & I am courage.

Saturday 22

• Tristan and I saw the first crystals in our DIY rock candy
• NEW FRIENDS! and they're keto Christian preemie parents, too!
• Fun time, fat foods.
• Huge rainstorm!
• Tristan curled up under B's arm to watch Coraline. Again.

Sunday 23

• Returned to new church and T was just as stoked.
• Started rehab on my nails (long story that is full of stress grr grr)
