My Gratia today is for 12 jars of jam...

I finally got to the two flats of raspberrys that have been slowly starting to rot in my fridge. I bought them last week with the grand intention of canning many many jars of delicious jam for  my family to swoon over. Life and general laziness got in my way and finally today, with the drizzle of rain outside, I very reluctantly decided to take on the task. It will be tasty I know but the sour mood I am in today has made it a little less appealing. In the end it is done. A third of the expensive raspberrys made it to compost and I practically threw a fit like a three year old in the process but, it is done. I am thankful for having that task over with. The irritation of the entire process did remind me that life isn't always about inspiration and beauty but just getting shit done and I am thankful for it.
