an everyday thing

We moved three weeks ago. This new house has been such a blessing in big ways and little ways. The past two houses we have lived in were built in 1910 and 1930. Electricity was sort of an afterthought. That meant that there might be two outlets in a room. If there were, they were in the oddest places like next to a door or in a corner. Now. Now! In our bedroom alone we have FIVE! outlets. I am not sure what ten electrical items we could possibly need in this room? This one is in our closet. I know it seems little, but I love being able to arrange a room based on what I like instead of what needs to be plugged in.


And, because, this is an everyday thing to be thankful for, I'm linking up to tuesdays unwrapped at chatting at the sky.

We don't appreciate some things until they are not available, you wouldn't have thought twice about outlets if you hadn't been without them once. . .A great reminder of gratitude. .Thanks

ha! i've lived in 3 houses... two 50 year olds & one 8 year old. i've experienced the "excessiveness" of the new homes & the "extreme shortage" in the older ones. how exciting you have the possibility of blow-drying your hair in the closet. you know ... if you ever wanted to. :)
