August 7 through 18th

Hard to believe how fast the time has gone.  I did not realize it had been so long since I posted.  Grateful for this site to come back to and catch up on everyone’s posts.  Good stuff!

God’s many blessings in my life, even when I do not see them clearly right away.

Being able to get back to church and my Bible study as my cold finally started to break and be gone.

Grateful for good coworkers.

Grateful for my son.  He is living his life but still is here at home.  Someday he will be gone and I will feel the loss.  As long as he is happy and health when he goes out into the world, it will be worth it.

Cooler temps.

Sleeping better.  Some nights I have left Jax downstairs where it is cooler but I have had the bed to myself and slept better.

Modern technology.  My sister-in-law’s mom fell in the store a couple days ago and she is having surgery on her shoulder.  I am sad that she has to go through this as she was due for a redo on her hip surgery next week.  Glad there are good doctors/surgeons to take care of her though.

My pets. They can drive me crazy when they get into things but I love them dearly and cannot imagine live without them.  It is sad they do not live as long as us humans.

Peaceful morning.

My surgical knee has been acting up.  I think it is arthritis but is sure slowed me down yesterday, even walking through a grocery parking lot.  At least I can feel it.  Grateful to be able to walk.  I bumped into a girl the other day at work in the cafeteria.  She lost her leg and damaged her arm in a car accident years ago and still gets around in a wheel chair. She can stand with a walker when needed. They were not sure she was going to live but she did and look how far she has come.  She is a true inspiration.   I have nothing to complain about.

Grateful to be able to attend a friend’s birthday party last Saturday.  What good friendships I am making.  Love it.

God’s word in the Bible.  Although I don’t read it like I should lately, it is something that I love when I do.

LIfe.  Grateful for God for it every day
