Turn Your Gripes To Gratitude

My cousin Danielle "tagged" me to do this.  Turn a gripe that you have about something into gratitude for that thing.  Especially great to do Thanksgiving week.  I chose my house.  Some of you may have heard me complain about my little old house.  And there are lots of reasons to dislike it.  But here are the reasons I am grateful for it:

1.  Grateful that we were able to buy a home even while Joey was in school.

2.  LOVE my huge, mature backyard.

3.  Better than renting cause I can paint & decorate how I want.

4.  Tax break for home ownership!

5.  Sentimental value (it was Joey's dad & grandma's house before us)

7.  It's cozy & has lots of old character like built-ins, curvy staircase, hardwood floors, etc.

6.  We actually have a roof over our head... that's more than some people in the world!
