Another week of thanksgiving

I give thanks for last Saturday, where:

1/ I spent some time with a parent from the school doing some work in preparation for the school year.
2/ This other father and myself managed to shift a basketball goal post about 200 metres and then we were able to lift this up and place this onto the screws concreted into the ground. We shifted the goal post, by placing the front half on the trailer and putting the bottom half on roofing iron and skating it along the grass. The lifting was done by placing the goal ring on a table, then a steel frame, then tying rope around it and connecting it to the trailer and then inching forward to get the goal ring up.
3/ It was only afterwards I considered all the Occupational Health and Safety risks and I am thankful that we didn't get hurt.
4/ We had a productive afternoon painting the building.
5/ We had a nice night at home.

I am thankful for Sunday that:
1/ We were on morning tea and got this done successfully after a few hiccups.
2/ I happened to be at the school and saw some kids running away. I called the Police and they came and found the culprits. It appears the kids were just feeling guilty and they didn't strike me as they seemed guenuinely scared. There were a few bars removed from the playground, but I don't think they did it.
3/ The Police handled this well.
4/ Some friends dropped in.
5/ I rang a lady from school and she seems to be better.

I am thankful for Monday that:
1/ I was able to catch up a bit at work.
2/ I had to get a client to sign an agreement and this worked out well.
3/ I was able to make progress in some other areas at work.
4/ I was able to help some new people from New Zealand.
5/ I was able to spend some time with the people from N.Z.

I am thankful for Tuesday that:
1/ I had some quiet moments catching up.
2/ I actually got around to filing about 20 files that have been hanging around for months.
3/ I saw some clients at an opportune time.
4/ I was able to catch up with Carolanne and Nathan over tea.
5/ I was able to help Carolanne at her school.

I am thankful for Wednesday, that:
1/ I made some significant progress with some clients I visited in the morning.
2/ I was able to help someone who was having trouble with some Real Estage Agents.
3/ I had a productive meeting in the afternoon.
4/ I was able to hear about Carolanne's day.
5/ I was able to be a listening ear to a school family that was struggling.

I am thankful for Thursday that:
1/ I had some time to catch up.
2/ I was able to sort through some issues with a client.
3/ I was able to catch up with our manager of Counseling and register my interest for a new project that our organisation has won the tender for, which includes some work in our own town..
4/ I was able to hear about Carolanne's great start to the day.
5/ I was able to rejoice in Carolanne's victories.

I am thankful for Friday that:

2/ I was able to make some progress with a family who has had long term needs and struggles.
3/ I was able to join with Carolanne, Nathan and the School community for a picnic.
4/ I was able to drive the family from N.Z home.
5/ I was able to catch up with Carolanne and discover she had a good day.

I am thankful for Saturday, that:
1/ I was able to drop Nathan off for youth group. It gives me pleasure to take him to things that he enjoys.
2/ I was able to go for a walk with Carolanne down the street.
3/ I was able to clean up my car which I have been meaning to do for months.
4/ We were able to share time together tonight.
