Grateful Diet - Day 14

I made Ruth Reichl's Last Minute Chocolate cake last weekend and I have the last 2 pieces in my cubicle. I am grateful for the wonderful quick, easy and delicious cake recipe. I am even more grateful that I have the last few pieces to devour on this morning. It is a great way to start the day!

I am grateful to my friend Chris who is helping me out as I embark in my very first home remodeling project. I am blessed to have many friends that provide me pointers and references and also share their horror stories in their respective remodeling projects. My friends stressed that it is imperative to get multiple quotes, have them itemized and etc. At first , I looked at it as a drag as renovation is work for me. I am beginning to get excited to spruce up my very first home. I am also grateful that I have the ability to own a house. It is a privilege and I am honored and I am proud about it. I will encounter challenges and I will have to make trade offs. At the end of the day, I must remind myself it is my own home and I want to do it right by me and also within budget.
