Early Spring

All the Groundhogs agree early Spring! Fine by me!

My friends began sending messages early! Did you hear the news? Early Spring!

Just realized its a Leap Year too so my frog decorations get to come out.

Grateful for all the food choices we have. I try to eat diabetic/gluten free Hubby is diabetic/low carb. We are able to find foods for us.

Grateful for the food labels that define what we are eating.

Saw some sunshine and blue sky yesterday. It made my mood soar.

Grateful for this day!

Ah! February

I happened to be up as January flipped into February at midnight last night. Hurray for February.

No matter what the Groundhog says tomorrow we are closer to Spring.

Trying everyday to reach out to a couple of people. We can support each other.

Grateful for a mild January. Never had to shovel.

Grateful to the trash men who take things away before I can chase after them and change my mind.

Grateful for busy days. I will be tired tonight but justifiably so.

Going to buy a couple of Valentines and pick some people who might be surprised. Dollar stores cards are so cheap!

Good Day!

 

Attitude of Gratitude

Overwhelmed I turn to counting good things.

Bless this mess!

Belief that things will work out.God’s in His Heaven but available to me when I need Him.

My friends uplift me and will be my helpers and support. Let me be a friend!

Decorated for Groundhog’s Day, Valentine’s Day and St Patrick’s Day. If I can surround myself with cheer, I will not be gloomy.

In everything I do today let me be grateful!

Letting my worries float away. Brand new day.

 

 

Baby It’s Cold Outside!

Chilly inside but frigid outside. Grateful for sweatshirt,socks,blankets and furnace.

Power on though wind blows. Thank you!

Good timing as I have a cold. Grateful for Kleenex!

Grateful for  those who check in on us.

Plan to make soup. I love soup.

Plans this afternoon so grateful in advance for friends, laughter and diversion.

Remembering it is a cold snap! It will be over soon.

Grateful to my keep it simple plan. Can’t be Merry and frantic.

I’m making a call a off I go! Making someone merry.

Blue Christmas

The rendition of Blue Christmas by Porky Pig makes me laugh and laughter is essential to these last days before Christmas.

My Stable Story featured song Blue Skies.

So many things I love that are blue. Skies, oceans, birds and eyes!

Being sensitive to those who have struggles this Christmas. I am blessed!

Asked to do something I don’t want to and realizing I am best person for it.

Watch for blue today it will keep the blues away!

Perspective

Snow is beautiful looking out but glad to have changed my plans to stay in where its warm.

Walks will need shoveled but we’ll whittle away at it. Foot by foot. One foot in front of the other.

Need to go out later to give Christmas away to many families. Christmas you give is more important than anything you get!

Having so much fun with Stable Stories. I’m posting them on Wandering Wisemen. The likes and shares make me happy!

No Christmas tree but decorations in every room. I see exhausted people and I’m grateful for my simple soul.

Cleaning up today. Declaring war on crumbs and clutter I will be content when it’s under control.

People ask if I’m ready for Christmas? No but I will be ready by Christmas (Eve) to stop and just absorb the joy!

Grateful Checklist

Christmas is right around the corner. But loving the milder day today.

Grateful for Christmas music.Very peaceful to listen to.

Easy Christmas cookies. Dough made. Making them into cookies.

Many people bringing cookies to make multitude of plates. We are a powerful force for good.

Zelle. Sending money easily, quickly and safely.

Friends at Church. Texting and email. Reassuring someone. I would hope they’d do the same for me.

Is a nap on the list? I hope so!

 

Grateful To Have Overslept

My wise body that knows I need sleep more than exercise.

Grateful for sleep. Gratefully looking to more rest later.

A friend who reminds you to rest and drink. (And eat soup and I love soup)

Breakfast and a cup of joe!

Knowing I’m organized enough to take some time off.

Accepting what is and being content.Priorities. Flexibility.

Utter bliss of laying in bed with snoring Hubby and two visiting cats. Precious!

Holey Moley Holiday Gratefuls

Have been grateful just BUSY! Grateful for energy! Grateful for naps!

Grateful Hubby is well after being sick. Grateful for antibiotics. Grateful he is helping me do things.

Grateful for my friends. They lift me up and cheer me up. Happy Birthday Katherine!

Cutting back on decorations and realizing you don’t have to decorate spaces if your heart is full.

Started my Stable stories. I have fun telling the Nativity story day by day!

Kids from Church are bought for and wrapped. Thanks for the help!
