Today I am thankful for the Butterfly Bush outside my kitchen window. It’s attracting lots of swallowtail butterflies: Zebra, Eastern Tiger, and Black forms this week. It gives me something pleasant to watch while I do the dishes.
I’m thankful for the upcoming holiday weekend, mostly because I am thankful to live in the United States. But I am also thankful that my husband has Monday off.
I’m thankful that I decided at 3 pm that waiting until the Friday before a holiday weekend to buy groceries was pure madness and went to the store today. The groceries are put away and tomorrow’s to-do list just got a lot simpler.
And although I’ve been sad to see my kids growing up, I don’t miss trying to grocery shop with small children. I am thankful that my kids are old enough to either stay home or be pleasant company if they go with me.
I’m joining Kim at The Upward Call and a few others in listing things I’m thankful for today.
