Feelin' it again

Though I haven't posted in awhile, I've had daily "grateful" moments and I'm doing pretty well with keeping my gratefulness in the front of my mind.

The weather today has become wonderfully cool and dry; I know it won't last, but I'm grateful for today.

Had a great time at Wrigley Field on Wednesday--first time in 35 years! Good friends, great atmosphere, and the Cubs beat the Brewers! :)

Been toying with the idea of escaping for my final two weeks of summer, but maybe saving money would be more prudent. So I'm going to try to work hard on the summer to-do list and be grateful for each accomplishment, big and small.

Been eating well, gearing up for the "Eat Local" challenge that begins next week. I'm lucky to live in an area with amazing produce and farmers' markets--I think the challenge won't be too difficult.

Talk about lucky!

Again, I'm reminded of how lucky I am. Got to spend the day with daughter #3 looking at new apartments. Such a grown up. So mature. So amazing. Working hard at what she loves. I want to hold on, but I'm happy to see her doing so well.

Tomorrow I get to look at a space for daughter #1's wedding. How cool is that? It looks beautiful on the website, and I think it's going to be perfect. Again, a lucky day.

Dinner tonight made from ALL fresh, local ingredients--some from the Farmers' Market, some from my CSA box, some from a local bakery. Delicious, easy, filling--I am so lucky to have such abundance.

The air is cooler, the sun is setting--I know how lucky I am.
