1.  I recently 'rediscovered' a produce stand with good and reasonably priced produce. Helps for healthier eating.

2.  My children are taking an interest in cooking.

3.  Today, a friend told me that I had 'turned her child onto writing' after one co-op lesson. She said he had been writing on his story ever since (and prior to that he hadn't shown any interest in writing or coming up with stories at all). That really made my day.

4.  I am blessed because I can go to bed early tonight and the world won't come to an end.

5.  I went to an auction yesterday and picked up a 25.00 Maple Twin size bed for my daughter, a 4' x 3' box full of tupperware...some of which I can use and some of which I will sell, some wonderful books and glassware items. I am blessed by being able to go, to have the money to make the purchases and by the fact that I can carry something of this lady's family on forward as I find new homes for her books and other items.
