First day of July and day 11 of my 21-Day Gratitude Challenge. I start the month grateful for…

1.) The beginning of a three-day weekend! (Duh.)

2.) Seeing a dear friend’s success.

3.) Finally being able to make a (somewhat significant) appliance purchase that I’ve been wanting to make for so long but haven’t been able to afford — and having a nice chunk taken care of by my work anniversary gift certificate. Let the baking commence!
