gratitude is... the fact that you noticed it 5 minutes before you started teaching piano lessons..so that it wasn't another hour before you noticed it.

Ok...you must be in a GREAT mood because gratitude is not the first word that would have come to my mind in a situation like this. Really, good for you for seeing the positives in this situation. I'm glad it all tunred out the best it could have.
You are a GREAT woman--I'm not so sure I would have seen it in that same way.
Glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Oh no! Seriously, how do you see the glass half full in a situation like this?! You are inspiring :)
We have had a similar situation here at our house and I agree...It could have been worse. We had neighbors who went to Europe and came home to a completely flooded house from a burst pipe. House was ruined.
so glad all was okay. well mostly everything. just more reason to go get some more goodies at sams club to stock up on :)
AAAAaaaaaaa! It has "rained" in our house, too, and honestly, I was very glad that Carlie asked if it was raining in the garage, and that I actually listened to her instead of telling her to stop dramatizing & keep eating her dinner... I'm so sorry it happened to you!
