Thank you, Ammit, for such wonderful things as lotteries and herd helpers. Though Arengee may be spiteful in her snips, today she was gracious! :P

Funny how something as small as rolling a Wet n Wild can turn a whole week around. In less than four days I've gotten an infected ingrown toenail; had my fudge I just bought stolen by the roommate's dog who ate the whole square, saran wrap and all after I left it on the coffee table; dropped my tablet and cracked a corner of the screen; stayed up way too late going through the freezer, fridge, and pantry in a deep clean; and to top it all off, got a flat tire on the way to work today.

No better day to have this week's sermon be on gratitude, huh?


It's true, though, that gratitude for the little things can really shake up perspective, as I was abruptly reminded this morning. When I finally did get to work, there was a bird book sitting on my desk, a birthday present from my boss. I logged in here and rolled a WnW. It made me think about the little things - like how even though my fudge was eaten by the dog (who thankfully is fine, it was white chocolate caramel and the saran wrap doesn't seem to have affected him), the roommate bought me more. Even though I cracked my tablet screen, it's a small crack and everything is functioning just fine. The deep clean is satisfying to have done, even if I need to take a nap later today - and my best friend left her work to give me a ride. As for the toe, well, it's slowly getting better and the swelling is going down.

In the spirit of gratitude for the little things, I'd like to give one of my WnWs away to one of you, you people who make up this amazing community that never fails to put a smile on my face.

All I ask is that you share one of your little bits of gratitude. What small (or large!) spot of hope have you found this week? What's your silver lining?

Everyone who participates will receive a straw, and one random person will receive this lil colt. Share away! :)
