October 14, 2011Cindy Maddera I have been the busiest at work that I have ever been. Everyday this week, I have left work with a brain of mush. I am thankful that today is Friday. I know I try really hard not to be in camp with the TGIF crowd, but today I have to say "TGIF". I am thankful that tonight, when I lay my head down on the pillow, I will not have to remember to set the alarm. I am thankful that tomorrow I will be able to just open my eyes when I'm good and ready to do so. But I have to say, I am thankful that this week was so busy. I got things accomplished. I wasn't busy fixing things I had messed up. I was busy just doing things and this felt good. It also made the days move by faster and reminded me of why I stopped wearing a watch. I don't have that constant pressure of time looming over my head. I just work and get things done. I am thankful for this.

My evenings have been just as busy. We have met with our landlord almost everyday this week, discussing the next step, signing paperwork and setting dates. We will close on this house at the very end of this month. I am excited, but I also feel a little queasy. I am thankful for our landlord who has worked so hard to get us into this house. I am thankful for the people who are helping us with this venture and I am thankful to finally settle down. No more gypsy.

That's a lot to be thankful for. Happy Thankful Friday!
