good things

Good things...
-trading art lessons for birthing classes and milk (from someone who has a cow). I think our country would be much better off if we switched to a barter system. Relationships are formed that way. I bet it would make people less greedy.
- my neighbor finding cloth diapers for me at a yard sale- some of the good kind! yay!
-selling a lot of the dolls I've had stored up, so that I have more room for other things, such as baby stuff... and the baby when the time comes.
-good appointments with my midwives
-for a long time we spent a lot of money on a special diet cat food for our cat, but she didn't lose weight, even when we hardly fed her any of it. now, we bought some cheap cat food and she doesn't like it, so she doesn't eat very much of it, and now she is losing weight! (this is good for her health but she doesn't think it's very nice that we don't give her the good cat food anymore).
-beautiful, colorful, fresh sweet peppers from our garden
- cooler weather
-our dog is happy to play with a pair of kyle's old underwear tied into a knot (she doesn't know it's because we are too cheap to buy her real toys).
-feeling safe and at peace in my home, even when we don't live in the safest neighborhood.
-the way that God works all things out for the good
- fresh catnip for our cat to play with
