I am not sure if it is all the time I have been spending in my apartment with a sick kid that has got me thinking of all the things I hopefully will be grateful for some day or, if it is just having lived in NYC for a while now that has made me appreciate the small things most people take for granted. So I am blogging my thoughts so I can always remember what to be grateful for someday if, I ever have the chance to have these things.
-A NORMAL bed that I don't have to put up and take down every single day- fold sheets and blankets, take off and put back on cushions pull out and put back in, (i.e. couch bed).
-A kitchen that is more than barely two people wide and two people plus a high chair long!
-A store that carries EVERYTHING close by that I don't have to rent a car to get to.
-A drive way, where I can park and take my groceries right inside my house.
- A back yard, which means emediate access to more space and the semi fresh air.
- A play room- where it is ok for toys to be left out because it is not your living room, your bed room, and play room.
- More counter space.
- Room for a normal kitchen table that fits more than two people.
- A day care at my gym that doesn't cost a fortune.
-Customer Service- even when you are not paying ridiculous amounts for it.
- Wind that doesn't bite your face off when it blows because it is SO cold.
-Silence- instead of constant horn honking, siren blowing, and snow plowing noises while trying to sleep.
