gratitude in the shape of gumballs.

wow. gratitude. it's free!
and holy cow
do i feel it.
in that deep down in the pit of your soul
sort of feeling
as i look around.
really LOOK at things:
the rug: bought at home depot, a hilarious adventure and a TOTAL compromise of each of our personal taste and styles. we settled. and were happy. i should remember that more when vacuuming. but i won't.
the table on top of that rug: noticed at yard sale. we went BACK for it. negotiated. and honestly
were able to spend THREE dollars. we love it. it's perfectly imperfect. in every way. like us.
the card on top of the table, for my birthday: amazingly selected and the inscription, precisely why i always think i have made every right choice.
always.
so so so very grateful.
i AM gratitude.
