- Warm weather, not hot. Fortunately the weather has cooled off (mid 80s instead of high 90s) which makes spring in Las Vegas amazingly nice.
- Hubby's support towards reaching my goals. I completed two more goals--walking the entire Las Vegas Strip from Sahara to Russell and back yesterday (8.4 miles) and visiting Springs Preserve today--and hubby did both of these goals with me. I really appreciate his support and his cheering me on to reach these goals!
- The first watermelon of spring. We saw our first watermelon in stores yesterday and I can't wait to have some. I love watermelon and the first one of the season usually tastes pretty awesome.
- Serendipity. Out of the blue we were able to buy a washer, dryer, and refrigerator/freezer from a cousin for a super cheap price because she wanted it out of her garage and we happened to need the appliances for our new house. Serendipity rocks!
- Romance novels. I have been positively devouring romance novels for the past few months. They really are like candy for my brain! (p.s. Here's my favorite authors).
- Having everything I need. I honestly have everything I need at this point in my life, and in fact, I need very few things these days to be happy and content. I am glad I got to this point in my life sooner rather than later.
- Being safe. Living in a city, any city, but most of the news I hear daily is about Las Vegas, you hear about A LOT of dangerous things. Many of these things (murder, domestic violence, human trafficking, gang fights, et al) have a lot to do with your lifestyle and environment. I am grateful to live in a very healthy, positive, and safe environment.
- Flowers. I miss all of the living things--plants, trees, flowers, even soil--in the Pacific Northwest. I am always happy, however, when I run across living, blooming flowers in Las Vegas. Nice!
- Friends. Whether I talk to them on the phone or meet them in person or receive an unexpected email from a friend, it reminds me yet again how grateful I am to have people that care about me.
- The fact that things always work out well in the end. There are always difficulties and challenges popping up--some minor, some major, many annoying but fixable--but it always seems like things work out well in the end.
What are you grateful for this week?
Re #3, I saw watermelons yesterday at the supermarket also! Re #7, I live in Northeast PA and we have all of those terrible things here, even gang violence in some area high schools. The news is horrendously horrible here lately. Re #8, it makes me sad to think you don't have those things out there, but it is the desert after all. I think I would miss trees and flowers too. I'm very grateful the trees are greening up here after a long dreary winter.
