Today I'm again learning a lesson from God regarding attitude, perspective and gratefulness. Our furnace went out last night - again - and our house is FREEZING cold. Of course, my first instinct was to be frustrated, annoyed and anxious about repair costs/the need to purchase a new one. But, luckily, with a little attitude adjustment I'm doing much better. Here are the things I'm thankful for today:
Our house, Eleanor, strong legs for walking and running, a beautiful, sun-shiny day (45ish degrees), a quick response by the repair man (although we still don't have heat) and the freedom to do whatever we want with our afternoon.
P.S. Happy Birthday Jeffrey!
**Update (3:15 PM): We returned from a walk to a warming house... and then the electricity shut off. I hope I'll be able to start the furnace again manually (as in banging it with a screw driver). The parts have been ordered to fix the furnace and should arrive tomorrow by noon. The repair man will be back here to install them tomorrow afternoon.

We moved into a new apartment and our furnace went on and off for about 2 weeks before they figured out what was wrong with it. I feel your frustration!!! So very cold...
