Gotta go to the Hive Boutique in Mountain Green

Real life truth: This past month has been draining with back to

school shopping, school registration for our girls, registering 2

vehicles this month, $800+ repair bill on a 3rd vehicle, a dishwasher

that is only 8 yrs old, but the one part to fix it, is discontinued- but

they'll give us 10% off on a new unit, and last but not least, as of

today our air conditioner broke and is beyond repair.

I DON'T say any of this to get sympathy, pity, comments or ANYTHING-

I only say this because I would feel ungrateful if I didn't share my feelings.

As I have felt the sting of each and every one of these, I have also felt

the overwhelming feeling of gratitude that 1. we are in a better place

financially than we have been in the past number of years, 2. grateful

that all of this DIDN'T happen back when times were SO tough &

tight, 3. grateful that we've had a little something put away, 4.

grateful it's just THINGS, not family or our health, 5. grateful that

it's NOT worse, and last & most importantly, 6. so grateful that I

feel this feeling of GRATITUDE, in a time like this.

"True gratitude is finding a way to be thankful for whatever is occurring

in our lives at the moment." *SO Grateful!*

(fast forward to) Then at Christmas time Mike called Brandon from Titan Heating & Air to check in with him on our bill & wanting to pay it now that we got our year end bonus. Brandon told Mike that his money is not good with him. And said Everything is taken care of, our bill was paid. WOW! to put it mildly we are SO very grateful & can't wait until one day when we can Pay it Forward like that.
