More to be thankful for

I am so thankful I have the oportunity to have this time off for many reasons.  I was able to spend the day watching my nephews Colton and Dylan for the whole day yesterday.  I have never had or made the time to do that before.  In the past I had watched Colton for a weekend when he was 6 months old but now he's 4!  It was a great day.  We made whole grain muffins, played country store (again, and again, and again) and threw rocks in the nearby lake.  It was a full day and I am a little tired today but I am thankful that I could spend the day with them.

Another reason I am thankful is that we are putting the finishing touches on our former home which has the sale pending.  The buyers just had a few requests for us after the inspection and I am excited to work on the repairs myself.  I'm getting out the hammer and replacing some siding on the garage, replacing a missing brick in the car-port and patching a hole in the return air vent.  It's so empowering to just work on a project that is for the betterment of our former home and will contribute to it's sale.

This week I will also begin focusing on where to go in my career.  I am meeting with a career counselor tomorrow to strategize.  Meeting with her is always so empowering.  She helps me gather my thoughts and hone in on what I am truly looking for and then come up with a plan to go for it.

It's amazing how much there is to do even when you are not working but I am enjoying every minute of it!
