My Computer is Working Again!

I am so grateful that my computer is working again! I have spent the day trying to catch up on my emails. (Do I really want that many emails a day?) And I have had fun catching up on newsletters, tracking down new articles, writing blog posts, playing computer games... yes, an excessive amount of computer time today!
I am grateful that the kids' computer is working again too! I think the entire day has had at least one of them, if not two, and sometimes all three, sitting at the computer playing Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation. Come see our review of this game here.

I am grateful that we found a new motherboard for my computer so inexpensively.
I am grateful that we found an incredible deal on the graphics card for the kids' computer.
I am grateful that we found not just one but two wonderful little computer stores over in Kingman, AZ where we were able to get the components we needed, and had some wonderful conversation!

I am grateful that we were able to finally get that air conditioner this weekend....
I am so grateful that we have been able to get the house down to 80 degrees! Who knew that you could be chilly at 80 degrees! We are running around wearing pants, and and putting on sweaters at night! And the few hours of intense afternoon heat, are now down time, instead of the entire day!

I am grateful for the gigantic leaves of Green Leaf and Romaine lettuces I found this week!

I am grateful that I have been studying feng shui! I rearranged the living room yesterday, and wow what a difference. I really did not think that just moving around the same piles of stuff and furniture would make a difference. I decided to create charts for myself and each child of our trigram baguas, and plan the living room out from there. And the feeling, and the look of the living room is so much improved. I mean, it still looks like a single wide trailer that is falling apart, and we still take up way more room than this trailer provides (that is to say that there are piles of stuff as high as an adult covering every inch of the walls!) But now it is comfortable to us, and inviting, and peaceful. I never thought I would feel peaceful here!

I am grateful that I feel peaceful!
