11.21.07 - Today I'm Thankful For...

1.) Running water—this morning we woke up to discover that one of our toilets had run all night, depleting our spring. Thus, we had no water until later today after the resovoir had a chance to fill. We are still being careful, but I am thankful for water!




2.) Indoor plumbing—seriously, how did people survive using outhouses? My dad had to completely take apart the above toilet (which happens to be the one closest to my room). I am very grateful that it is back up and running!


3.) Clean rooms—today, while I was waiting on the water, I completely cleaned out the basement den area. I swept in all the nooks and crannies, dusted all of the bookshelves, and rearranged all of the work-out equipment. It looks and feels better!


4.) Catch up days—like today. I took off of work to get caught up on life at home: cleaning, homework, & organizing. I didn't get as much done as I had hoped because of all of the water issues, but I did get a lot done. I still have a paper to write, but I have some time.


5.) A long weekend with family to celebrate Thanksgiving Day—tomorrow is Thanksgiving! We are headed to my dad's family for a long weekend of laughter, fellowship, and knowing our family, a lot of food! I am looking forward to getting away!
