Days 69-78, March 4- 12 - Mindful of My Blessings

Being mindful of your blessings keeps your heart humble.

I fell off the radar for several days. Last week my uncles, Jim and Ron, began remodeling our bathroom to make it handicapped accessible. I don't feel very productive when my house is in chaos. I have the attitude that things can wait until the remodel is done. Despite a lot of dust and mess and getting very  little accomplished, it was a very good week. What I enjoyed the most about it was having evening meals with my uncles and Ed. I haven't had much opportunity in recent years to visit with my uncles. Every day when I cam home from work and I would see all  they had accomplished and how hard they worked, I was overcome with gratitude for their generosity, because they are not charging me any labor for this project. And it is a huge project! The bathroom was completely gutted. They are not only doing the labor, they have planned the entire project. And, I appreciate my aunts input in the planning and being supportive of them being gone from home.

I don't know why Ed had to lose his legs. I don't know why we aren't living the "golden years" we planned. What I do know, is that God has put some wonderful people on this earth and provided us with many blessings. That is what I choose to be mindful of!
