Oh let's see my lovelies. Where to start? You've heard of Christmas in July? Today was spring cleaning in the fall here. All in preparation for Thanksgiving. It's been a day full of yard work, house work, cleaning, and organizing. It feels good. So, let me tally up my glads for the day.
Today I am glad to have such a great family. The yard work was accomplished thanks to our cousins Luke and Jake. They are great guys for helping us out. It was equal parts manual labor and comedy act. We always have a good time when we get together.
Today I am glad for my parents, especially my father, who graciously and selflessly helps us with the icky, technical "man's work" around here since his daughters have yet to secure husbands for the job.
Today I am glad for rest. After the hustle and bustle of the day it's good to just sit and rest. I know my sister especially needs some good rest.
Today I am glad that Sister and I hung up our map of the world and pinned up places we wanted to go. (I of course covered up England in a mess of red pins) It may sound silly but the thought of being able to slowly go around and turn the red pins of places we WANT to go into green pins of places we have BEEN is so exciting!

Lastly, I'm glad that I have 36 more days ahead that I know for sure I'll find something to be glad about.
What are you glad about?
