In an effort to get back into the practice of expressing gratitude, here are a few things I’m feeling thankful for this week.

Preschool. My daughter just started 2-year-old preschool last week, and it seems to be going well. It feels so good to have a few hours a week free to focus on housecleaning, errands, writing, etc. while she’s in school. Also I’m excited for us to get to know some other families since we still don’t know many people in town.

The trampoline gym. Cheap entertainment and exercise for the little one! A nice variation from visiting a park.

Fall. I love the change of seasons, the anticipation of fall holidays, and the general business of this season. I really enjoy being involved in lots of activities and many activities start up again in the fall.

Old friends. There’s something so wonderful and comforting about friendships that you’ve had for years. I’ve had the chance to connect with several long-term friends this week. That always makes me happy.

What are you grateful for today?
