I found refreshment in embracing a positive outlook on my day. Mint tea helped, too.

The “blessings” of my healthy, fun and love-filled life often get swept under the rug unless I reboot my thinking to be less crabby and more refreshed….

• I was late getting my garbage can out to the curb but I did bring up the neighbors empty can
• the grocery clerk at Super Target asked if I needed a cart assistant to help me to my car…and another lady said, “Don’t worry, we’ve all been there” then pointed out my missing glove on the ground as tears were being spewed onto me by my darling little ones.
• Bank trip {sass about not getting a sucker–really it’s like the worst candy ever!}
• Library books returned
• Food unloaded in -2 degree F. weather {threw away meatballs in marinara that was who knows how old from the back of the fridge}
• children fed
• Doctor’s appointment for Molly’s check-up
• Bath, snack, craft for Ryan
• Clean up and fold laundry {Ry said Dad will be so impressed!}
• Dinner made, packed up and dishes washed {Ry called me the best chef ever!}
• Kids tucked in
  
• Google blog reader – read
• Watch the TV show Chuck with Peter

Mint tea, yes, refreshed and less crabby.

I am grateful of my to-do lists for I am able to do them.
