Grateful Diet - Day 20

My plate is full.  I received key to the house from the realtor on Sunday.  I have been busy meeting contractors daily to view and provide me the quote for remodeling before I leave for vacation tomorrow. At first, I had grand ideas like remodeling the kitchen to have white cabinets with black soapstone countertop and white subway tiles for the backsplash, remodel the bathrooms entirely and the list go on and on.  After I got a sense of the renovation cost, I am more grounded now.  I am grateful to have the opportunity to dream and think big, grand and luxurious. 

As day goes by, after speaking to different contractors, my renovation list has dwindled significantly and focused on the high priorities only. I am meeting another contractor this afternoon who is a referral from a close friend. I am looking forward to shortlist the contractor for the job and move on to the next phrase. I am grateful to get referrals from people I trust and now it boils down to picking one from the list.
