Kale, Wealth, Adolescent Boys

Maybe it's because I don't usually make sides?  There are already usually vegetables in my main meal.  For whatever reason, I'd never made a simple kale salad until today.  When I use kale I steam it, or put it in a recipe.  Today I cut out the stems, cut it into little pieces and then rubbed it in about 5 simple ingredients and wallah.  Delicious!  I seriously never knew it was so easy to make kale salads that I love - - gratitude #1.  And #2 - I'm grateful for how much I loved it and genuinely wanted to keep eating it!

#3 - School was cancelled today for the -14 F and -25 C temperature this AM.  I was supposed to have an early morning home visit. I am not happy that family cancelled because they are behind.  However because of this I didn't need to head outside until the afternoon when it warmed up and was sunny.  I am concerned about wild animals however as I learned this weekend how important the layer of snow is that many use to borrow in and stay warm.  We don't have snow for them to do that.

#4 - Usually I keep my heat on the lowest possible setting.  It is not precise, just more hot water or less running thru the pipes, and less water is usually plenty. Today when it was a little cooler inside, I could easily turn it up a little. This is Wealth.

#5 - My friend that I lived with a few months after my partner and I separated called today to ask if I'd stay with her boys a few days in May.  They are in middle/high school now so I spend much less time with them than I used to. I'm grateful to be asked and grateful it works with my schedule.
