gained

Been feeling really grateful lately.  I feel like I've gained a lot over the last few months.  Here are a few of the highlights . . .

• a renewed relationship with my parents (it's been so great to get to re-know them during retirement)
• a job that I'm good at
• more patience
• a deep appreciation for people who've gone through extreme loss
• reconnection with old friends
• time with my extended family (due to living with my folks)
• a set of Grandparents who invest in my kiddo daily
• about 8 pounds (though this might be the low-light!)
• medicine to help me feel WAY better
• a clear knowledge that I don't know as much as I thought
• an openness to the unexpected & being more flexible
• a deeper sense of God's love & faithfulness
