Stuff

Today I am grateful for a good long run yesterday morning with my husband Darcy. Our marathon training is coming along well. I am also grateful for a Goodwill here in town for us to donate to.

We were trying to make more room available in one of our bedrooms and of course that led to the trickle down effect . . . our whole upstairs was a bit of a mess for a time. But we were able to accomplish our mission of more space. Everyone pitched in and helped some, except our dog Oliver, who was trying to figure out what was going on and got in the way more than once.

Several bags went to Goodwill, a few things got rearranged, and we were reminded of how much "stuff" we have. We don't like to have a lot of clutter, but apparently we do get stuff for good reason and then forget both-the stuff and the reason we got it.

I hope someone else will put it to good use.

Gratitude goes beyond the stuff to the people we share it with and the places we share it in.
