Sunday October 27, 2013..

    It was a beautiful weekend.   So grateful to have a few more days of warmth.   This week is supposed to drop about 20 degrees, and next weekend we change the time back an hour.  Wish I didn't have to but I don't want to be early for everything.   I hope that we don't get feet of snow next week like the other states are getting.  I'm not ready to be driving in it.  I'm not ready to shoveling it and the gray and the cold together reek havoc with my SAD. (self diagnosed)  I will continue to smile and hope that I can find something great in each day that comes.
     It was windy today but also sunny and warm and I got to watch my daughter run and jump into the pile of leaves I raked for her.   She loves playing in all the crunchy leaves, and who can blame her.  I love to crunch the leaves as well.
     I am grateful I made it through another weekend with no money.  I'm grateful I have gas to get to work and food to feed my kids a couple more days. I'm grateful I have a job to go to and a paycheck at the end of each two weeks.  I am as always grateful for my friends and family and especially my kids.
     I am grateful that in just  a few weeks we will see what is going to happen to us and when we have to move.  I am scared, and yet I'm excited to see what the future holds. I'm grateful that I have started to heal from the whole experience and this search for happiness is bringing me , if nothing else more smiles on my face.
