Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for home ownership.  This might sound very weird considering my recent bad luck with house/plumbing issues, but I truly am thankful for the ability to own a home of my own. 

Not to get overly dramatic, but I realize that there are places in this world TODAY that women are not allowed to own property at all, just by virtue of being a female.  I also realize that I was blessed with parents who taught me good financial management skills so that I can handle the financial responsibility of owning a home. 

In addition, since I spent the last year worrying about my job ending and thus my income as well, I am also incredibly grateful that the right job presented itself just in time so that my income wasn't interrupted.  I know that others haven't been as fortunate in that area, through no fault of their own.

So this week, even though I'm still annoyed at the toilet drama, I choose to still be thankful that I have a roof over my head and safe place to call home.
