This was definitely a better week than the last one with everyone sick. Nice to have everyone on the mend and things slowly returning to a routine. 
I’m going to keep this post brief and just get to my posting my list of things I jotted done from last Friday until today:
- J showing me how to change the language on you-tube and laughing with him at funny videos in Swedish
- An Irish Cream Cold Brew as the featured coffee at Starbucks
- G getting to work (and home again) safely during the snowstorm
- A warm house providing shelter from the storm
- Hearing a couple of barred owls call to each other early Sunday morning
- Everyone slowly starting to feel better after COVID and that our family didn’t have any serious issues with it
- An older brother who takes great care of his younger brother even when he doesn’t have to do it
- Hyacinths blooming indoors in winter

- Returning to routines of work and school
- Remembering trash day and a great new company that actually picks up our trash and recycling
- Zippers that look like toasters and preschool kids in my life who point out such wonderful observations to me
- Wonderful coworkers who make work as pleasant as the kids who see toasters in zippers
- My oldest son buying me lunch
- Getting a little (very little) cleaning done
Guess I should add a bonus item and say I’m thankful I decided to splurge on these hyacinths as they bloom because they are also starting to give off a wonderful scent as well…![]()

Do you enjoy the scent of hyacinths? What things are you thankful for this week?

So thankful you are on the mend, my friend. It is nice getting back to routine. I am thankful for our home and our family. I am thankful my mom is doing better, and that we are all healthy. I hope you have a nice weekend!
