• Reading all of these lists and remembering to be grateful
• A new routine of listing as many things as I can think of that I’m grateful for while I drive
• Watching the NFR (rodeo) with Dave, “Cowboy Up” is the new motto around here
• Seeing the cowboys thank Jesus …and their horses after every ride
• The one cowboy who wiggles his butt after a good round
• Friends helping, always
•  Trusting the experts
• Moving forward no matter how hard it feels
• Sitting in my mom’s room surrounded by reminders of her
• Being anywhere and knowing my mom is already there

Wishing you the strength to hang onto the rope no matter how rough the ride, until you can throw your hat in the air in victory.  Yeehaw!
