This weekend brought with it some good and some bad. Sunday I had to stay on top of my thoughts in order not to get stuck in the guilt, frustration, failure trap that I easily lapse into when I am not careful. In light of this, I have decided to focus on thankfulness and the good things that God has placed in my life, because there is so much! Here is my list of good things, in no particular order:
***Aubry's Dorothy dress (Wizard of Oz) will not need to be handmade by me for Halloween since I ran into an old friend and she offered me the use of her daughter's outfit from last year. Yippee!
***Sales in my shop seem to picking up. This is especially great in light of the fact that it is time for a bunch of lovely new lines to be released. This means that I get to buy lots of cool new fabric and chalk it up as work!
***I paid $2.69 per gallon for gas this weekend!
***My house is clean from top to bottom. This was so necessary and it makes me feel good to start off my week with no cleaning needing to be done.
***I did get to have a fun date-night with my hubs this weekend. We had a fabulous dinner at a Thai restaurant and went to see Max Payne, which is a guy movie all the way, and then we wandered around Barnes and Noble. Simple, but fun!
***The weather these days is perfect! Warm and sunny and happy. It is easier to keep an eye on the good things when the sun is shining brightly.
...by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Hebrews 13:15
What are you thankful for on this Monday?
