I am constantly trying to remind myself to be thankful for what I have, and yet I am always taking things for granted.
When my oven decided to stop working a while back it was brought to my attention once again that I have so many things I don’t even realize I need to be thankful for…like a working oven.
As you may know, last night/yesterday Southern California, parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico lost all power. The outage only lasted about 7 hours for us, but we tried to make the most of it.
We got out all our candles, our heavy duty DeWalt flashlight {which is the most amazing flashlight ever — everyone should have one}, BBQ’d our remaining chicken and drank our warming beers. We took the opportunity to walk down to the beach and mess around with flashlights and our camera {we are both still trying to figure it out}.
{I was trying to make a heart}
It was great to take a break from our usual routine and just hang out — no phones, no computer, no tv.
Today I am thankful.
