Gratitude and Perspective - ORC Week 4

I'm grateful that the biggest struggle I had this weekend was getting a faulty drill to work long enough to secure a 4x4 into concrete.

I'm grateful that when I adjusted my fence height and needed more lumber that the local store was closed because they choose to take Sundays off.

I'm grateful that when I go to that store tomorrow, I will do so without fear for my safety.

I'm grateful that I have a wonderful home that I'm already proud of. That I have the privilege of improving upon it. That I have a family that can sleep soundly in it each night.

I'm grateful that I have an opportunity to express my creativity and that I can share my accomplishments with you. I can show you the first steps of the privacy screen we built in front of our porch...

We started the narrow privacy screen to hide the garbage and recycling...

We even applied a suggestion from my father-in-law and started a border along the walkway.

And here is where we are at now at the end of Week 4...

I'm grateful for the progress we made this week, and here is a quick walk-through...

I'm grateful that I can discuss the details behind this project in the next blog post.

Now instead I will take the time to reflect, listen, and learn about the bigger issues, and how I can support and help make change. Below are some resources for ways to help:
