Welcome to the first day of the A-Z Challenge!!!  It's going to be a great month, full of fun posts!
As it's also the 1st of the month, my A entry is all about attitude today- An Attitude of Gratitude!  Here is my list of things I was grateful for in March:


  • 3.31- A few hours with husband home. And that he has a job. Even though I really hate it right now. I'm grateful that he has one.
  • 3.30- Making a phone call that ultimately saved us a lot of time, hassle and gas money
  • 3.29- Tea at the Vineyard Cafe in Marietta Square
  • 3.28- Good friends bringing their kids for a play date
  • 3.27- Novacaine
  • 3.26- Fun shopping by myself and getting supplies for Lucy Jane

  • 3.8- Being given the chance to enter a giveaway to WIN new patterns on the internets!!! :D

  8. Well, I'm grateful that you bullied me into doing A-Z last year. Due to that, I couldn't face the shame of not doing it again this year.

  11. Love this post. It got me thinking that gratitude multiplies the more attention you pay to it. Because everything you're grateful for leads to something else. :-)
