I think one of the really good things about garage sales is that they force me to go through my belongings and get rid of stuff.  When we have a garage sale we never keep anything that doesn’t sell.  We either leave it in a box on the curb to get taken for free or we donate it to Good Will.  We are not the kind of people who have a storage, if it doesn’t fit in my 1800 sq. ft. 4 bedroom house then we don’t need it…my husband on the other hand is a hoarder…so you know…conflict can arise…on occasion…

I don’t really have anyplace I’m going with this idea so I’ll just jot down a few things I’ve been thankful for this week…

-For my treadmill 🙂  Usually not a huge fan of treadmill running but the air here in the valley has been particularly bad because of the fires in our foothills.  I’ve been doing my runs this week on the treadmill.  I will brave the road tomorrow, hopefully the air is okay.  If you’ve watched the news and or read about the Willow Fire here in CA…we are about an hour or so away from that blaze…which leads me to…

-Firefighters…so thankful for those that brave these fires in ridiculous heat and work so hard to protect, people, livestock, buildings..

-For our garage sale today…helping us to get rid of some of the clutter in our lives…we still have a lot to be sure but you know being reminded you are blessed isn’t such a terrible thing…

-Almost forgot my daughter and I baked Zucchini Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting this week! Yummy!

So for treadmills, firefighters, getting rid of clutter and cupcakes…I Give Thanks!

Keep on Running…
