Counting My Blessings
You know - sometimes you have to just step back and take a look at all the good.
Y'all know I'm living in The Belfry. Not my ideal, but it's got enough room that I can have some folks over, it's got a kitchen that I can cook anything I want to in, the bedroom and bathroom are much bigger than you would imagine. It's good.
Oh, it's upstairs. And it's an outdoor entrance. So you can imagine this winter should be pretty interesting. And no garage. Nope.
But my landlady makes up for any negative involved.
Last night she brought me up a bowl of homemade soup. I sent home the left over manicotti. She was thrilled.
At least once a week, when I return from my travels, she brings me a piece of homemade pie to welcome me home.
As I was leaving for work the other day I found a pair of slacks on the bottom step with a note. She bought them for herself, but they were about 4 inches too long so she thought I might want them. Folks - I don't think this woman is 5" tall. She's very funny.
I realize I am so very lucky to have found her. Who would have guessed my short stay in The Little Blue Cracker House would have brought me such a wonderful friend.
Yeah, when I get frustrated with the situation sometimes, I just have to stand back and count my blessings. I'm a pretty lucky lady.
