Grace in Small Things, 15/365

by E.P. on July 2, 2009

Yesterday was an interesting (in a not good) kind of day, but there were a few things that got me through.

My new camera body! It’s amazing and beautiful and takes such pretty photographs!
Baking.
Friends who come over with the purpose to help you bake/eat whatever you baked.
Fourth of July family traditions that I have taken over and made my own.
The fact that eight hours separate me from more than a week of vacation time and my boy!

What are thankful for this Thursday morning?

Marjolein July 2, 2009 at 6:37 am: Have a good time on holiday!

I’m thankful for so many things today. The awesome dream I had about my dad and my grandparents – they are all deceased, but having them with me in my dreams like that makes me realize they’ll never really be gone. I also woke up to a really sweet email from my parents-in-law wishing me good luck with the final work on my thesis and they asked if they can have a copy when it’s done. I also found some more really helpful criticism in my supervisor’s feedback on my thesis and my boyfriend will be home early today. Plus, I get to go to dance rehearsal again.

I’m thankful that my car is fixed and that it didn’t break the bank. I’m also thankful that I’ll have a weekend of fun with friends.

MinD July 2, 2009 at 11:06 am: I’m thankful for friends. Just when I begin thinking I don’t have many or any in this town, they prove me wrong.

Hopefully today is better for you than yesterday!

maris July 4, 2009 at 3:27 pm: I hope you’re panning a separate post to tell us what you baked
Nora July 8, 2009 at 10:29 am: I’m glad you found a few good things to get you through your day!

Baking + friends who will bake + eat the goods with you = a guaranteed good time.
The Clandestine Samurai July 18, 2009 at 5:43 am: I proudly would’ve came over to help you eat, as well as some of the homeless on the street.
