God.

I get to go to a Minnesota Twins baseball game with my son today!

Good news programs to watch on my days off.

It is damp out there today but we have needed the rain after a Winter with substantially less snow than the previous Winter.

Grateful we are not getting the weather that Texas is going.  Lots more rain and also tornados.  Praying for the survivors. 

Bible plans.  Getting back into them.

My vacation is coming to an end, but I am grateful for the time off.  I could get used to being retired LOL!  

I GET to go back to work on Monday.  Although I say I could get used to be retired, I am grateful for a job to pay my bills. 

Music videos on YouTube.  I watched a couple full concerts of the GoGo’s from 2001 this week.  It is hard to believe those girls ages range from 65 to 70 years old now.  Three of them are completely clean and sober too.  Grateful for a way to go back and watch these ladies. 

I walked for 1 1/2 hours yesterday up in the park along the river and down near Lake Superior.  Feeling it a tad in my feet today as I have not walked this long outside in a long time.  Used to it at work, being on my feet all day, but not so much outside.  Grateful for my new hip, or I could not do this. 

Good music.  I have Tinnitus 24/7, so have to watch how loud I listen, or it affects it some days.  Grateful for the hearing I have left to enjoy my music. 

Good food all week.  New pizza and warm homemade bread and warm olives were tried tried this week.  I am a creature of habit, this vacation was one of trying new things. 

I am upright, breathing, walking and talking today.  Thanks be to God.
