Friday’s Bliss List

Habitat for Humanity House Dedication 3-17-2012

It’s been a week of highs and lows for me. I spent much of the week stumbling around in a funk. Fortunately, the funk is gone and I’m ending the week on a high. Here is my list of things to be grateful for this week:

• Saturday, we attended the Habitat for Humanity house dedication for a Somali family that I am Habitat Family Neighborhood Partner with for the next year. The charming house above is going to be a wonderful home to a great family who have been through civil war, refugee camps, and moving to a new country to create a new life.  I am thankful to be a part of their journey and look forward to a great friendship with them. Knowing their story makes me grateful for so many blessings I often take for granted.

  Fun Cloth Headbands

• I spent a lot of time playing and making things this week just for fun. I made journal collage pages, two cloth headbands, and some really neat photo mandalas. I am so grateful for time to play and make things.
  

  Get-together with friends

• I had a wonderful get-together with four women friends Wednesday night. Even though we all brought our troubles and frustrations with us, we all went home with lighter hearts because of shared time together. I am so grateful for good friends.
  

  Quackers are back!

  

  Green is bursting out all over

• Spring has sprung! Green things popping out all over! Ducks and geese in the pond behind our house raising a holy chorus! I love this time of year!

Linking up to Liv Lane’s Little Bliss List again today. Thanks Liv, for scattering joy and causing me to count my blessings each week!
