Thankfulness and Gratefulness

Monday morning and I think I am stepping out of the muck that has kept me trapped for over a year now. Spring is coming and a break for me. I am dreaming happily of having  my life back if only for a few short months. In another month, the house will be finished, next week I leave to stage it ....it is going to be amazing, actually already is.

My grateful list is long but here it is:
1.) Thank you Don for making such beautiful cabinets and thank you universe that they all fit.
2.) Thank you Brian for delivering all the cabinets, furniture and curtains safely through two weeks of ice storms from Texas to Pennsylvania.
3.) Thank you Dolores for being willing to relocate for weeks at a time and take care of my mother. I cannot  express in words how grateful I am.
4.) Thank you Carolyn and Adrienne for being able to help Dolores take care of my mother so she can enjoy her home in Bethlehem.
5.) Thank you universe for giving me the strength to wean someone off of multiple prescription narcotics, take care of them through multiple hospital stays, recoveries and setbacks, and to see them recover.
6.) Thank you Jennifer and Jeremy for helping make my vision a reality.
7.) Thank you David, Cameron and Reed for making peace with me caring for my mother and neglecting all of you.
8.) Thank You Alida for your energy clearing. I do not know how it works, only that it does and when days were darkest you stepped in and moved thngs along.
9.) Thank you universe for my mother being happy and healthy in her remodeled home.
10.) Thank you friends and clients for your patience while I took care of all the things and for waiting for me to have the time to work with you.
11.) Thank you Joe for all your iron rods, the bed and the crosses.
12.) Thank you universe for today, tomorrow and yesterday.
