Gripes or Gratitude

Okay so funny thing is that I started this post to gripe about how much I HATE LAUNDRY... then instead I was washed over with extreme gratitude. I have been caught many times complaining about the piles of laundry that I have to wash, dry, fold, iron, hang, and put away. I seriously have piles of laundry all over my house that even if it's clean, I never seem to put away. So instead I am going to make a list of the things about laundry that I'm grateful for...

1. I love the smell of clean laundry.

2. Warm socks, or sweatshirts right out of the dryer.

3. The fact that we are so blessed to have a variety of nice clothes. More than one pair of pants, socks, underwear etc... others ain't that lucky.

4. I am extra lucky to have 2 washers and dryers. One set upstairs one down. This is super nice and I know that I am blessed to have great appliances. I'm just grateful that I'm not outin some river rubbing my clothes up against a rock.

5. The fact that I have so many clothes proves that each one of my little people are here. I wouldn't sacrafice anybody in my ever growing family to have less laundry. They are worth every minute of work.

I'm not sure why I am so blessed, but I was grateful today to take one minute to thank my heavenly father for turning my gripes into gratitude.

I think I would like to turn this into a tag. November is a good month to remember what we are grateful for soooo....find one thing that you gripe about and turn it into something you're grateful for. I tag Kendra, Amy M., Natalie J., Shannon C., Jobi, Lisa F., and Jenni with an I!
