Today I am grateful for gifts in the mail. I won a giveaway and now have a copy of Llewellyn’s 2009 Witches’ Spell-A-Day Almanac. I also received a copy of This Is Not the Life I Ordered: 50 Ways to Keep Your Head Above Water When Life Keeps Dragging You Down from a friend over at Weiser Books to whom I owe a bunch of book reviews as I only managed to get one up.

Today I am grateful for the opportunity each of these books represents.  One of my goals is to start writing as a Witch outside of this blog.  Receiving the spell almanac offers me an opportunity to find the inspiration to start submitting material to Llewellyn.  Receiving the other book offers me the opportunity to work through the disappointment I feel related to how far I’ve come (or more accurately how far I haven’t come) as I approach my 40th birthday.

Today I am grateful for GamerDude being willing to come to Sam’s Club with me on Friday.  I was dragging my heels about going and with his company it felt less like just another chore and more like an outing.  I am grateful for being able to afford food for another week.  I am grateful for being able to afford a frozen cheesecake as a special treat for Princess Nibbles after her play, as her sister got pizza after her award ceremony.

Today I am grateful for talented children.  Miss Artistic has attended two award ceremonies in the past weeks related to a piece of artwork being one of six representing student (K-12) art in Monmouth county at an exhibit at the state house in Trenton.  Princess Nibbles continues to excel in school and in her gifted program and did a wonderful job portraying Queen Eleanor in a play about Robin Hood this past Friday.

May the week ahead be filled with blessings for you and yours
