Hubby has had 72 birthdays. He is easy to please.He said the license plates were his present. He didn’t even want cake!

I made lasagna. Grateful for gluten free noodles. Back in the day my family ate pans now we are full with leftovers.

Greetings  from ME to him on Facebook. I picture many from across US sending him a wish.

I’m a Scorpio too! My birthday is in a week. My present to myself is not to have to sing the hymn with the choir.

To fall asleep I’m going to think back on different birthdays. Should be an interesting trip down memory lane.

Eyes that see. Grateful to be able to see color

The miracle that let’s me see words and read and sometimes feel what the character is feeling.

Tasting something. At one point in my life only had my bottle then added things too numerous to list.

Now I know what I like and what I don’t. Still new things to try.

Hearing has faded but I still treasure the memory of voices. Music it does more than enter my ears.

Touch. It’s chilly add a layer. I’m cold Snuggle up. So many warnings and wonders. Light touches and hug!

Smell. Sometimes it makes me sneeze and I’m glad for a tissue. I can look at food and appreciate its succulence. I remember the wonderful smells in the past.

The sixth sense. Empathy and knowing a little extra to be aware.

All this makes me perceive the world and be more grateful.

Close to Hubby’s birthday so will post about my gratitude for him.

Me and you. We make two! Separate and free to be ourselves.

He’s been sick so have noticed the things he does that aren’t getting done.

Snuggles and back rubs. Warm fuzzy bear. Polar bear loves grizzly bear.

He never complains about my cooking just fixes a hot dog.

He knows how to do dishes and laundry. And he does them.

I am a busy person. He is a homebody but we respect each other.

Never criticizes my need for a nap or reading way into the night.

Happy Birthday ( in a day or two) Can’t imagine life without you!

Hurray! It’s November ! The Grateful month!

Time to say goodbye to the shadows and uncertainties of the past and welcome the new month and its attitude of gratitude.

Grateful for my house . Not just the protection from the cold but the warmth that makes it a home.

Warm meals. Sometimes home cooked,sometimes simple but always eaten together.

Eating out used used to be routine but now a treat. Things come full circle as we budget. But we have a plan!

Forgiving my house for what it is not and cherishing it for what it is.

Watching the snow melt and heeding the warning that Winter will  win but not today!

Cleaning up after being sick. I’m making progress!

My nest to rest on this floor. Nice not to have to trudge upstairs.

Grateful to my blue house. May I not be blue today!

Haven’t felt good nice to feel better.

Is it a cold? Is it something I ate? Is it stress? Questions that don’t seem important as I get my strength back.

Attacking each symptom with an over the counter counter spell.

Writing class won’t come in on Zoom but they will send a recording.

Indian Summer nice to have a warm day.

Good that its a quiet week so I can focus on recovery.

The leaves in Ohio are splendid this year.

Enjoying a lollipop the bank teller gave me.

Looking forward to tomorrow when I will be even better.

Grateful we are making progress on moving bedroom.

Even though we both have been sick we are reaching the final steps.

Grateful for over the counter remedies and tissues.

The many blankets that have kept us warm while we are in temporary bedquarters.

Trusting that things will work out OK.

Envisioning the end result. (The curtains look great)

Little by little Inch by Inch Life’s a Cinch!

Week had its challenges but had high points too.

Grateful for new windows. Nice installer.

Fun to go see Disney Immersive. Pretty drive. Observant driver when truck changed lanes.

I’m feeling better today. Hubby still coughing but not as sick.

Quiet days. Good sleep. Being able to let things go!

Trusting that there is a plan but making phone calls.

Head hurts. So I stop!

My part of service is written out. Printer won’t print it but I can read.

Everything worth doing well is also worth doing poorly. Just do it!

I  choose to be grateful though I had an unexpected thing happen.

It didn’t change that I have friends who care.

It didn’t change that the sky is blue and sun is shining.

Five morning glories in the bush by the car.

I have everything I need the rest will fall into place!

Maybe next October I won’t even remember that which has me rattled!

Grateful for all that has happened. New bed and new windows. We have come so far!

Trusting that the problems they found putting in the windows will be fixed and funded.

Grateful Hubby is better. His cough had me worried. He is my other half!

Friends who listen. Friends who remind me to have faith.

Summery weather! Enjoy! Cold is around the corner!

May today be a good one! No surprises!

Progress- step by step

Sunshine- hike?

Acceptance especially when you think you’re right

Friends that listen. Friends who accept you!

Hubby thinks he is better. Go slow! I need you!

Weekend brings us to October. May October bring us joy!
