  • Last day off, but I will enjoy it.  Grateful for scheduled days off and Personal Holidays/Vacation to be taken.
  • God.  So grateful he woke me up this morning.  
  • My son.  He was talking about moving out in a few months.  I think we are both ready but I know it will feel strange living in this house alone for the first time in 29 years.  Excited for his future and mine.
  • Jax and Skeeter.  They will be with me.  
  • Maybe the kick in the pants I need to really start getting things done around this house?  Might take away some of the empty house syndrome when he leaves.  Staying busy and productive.  Not that I cannot do it now. ;) 
  • Good coffee.  I don’t drink or smoke.  Coffee is my vice.  
  • 18 degrees when I woke up.  Grateful for a working furnace.
  • Nice comforter to keep me warm in bed at night.  
  • Realizing that the Bible is becoming one of my favorite books.  If you had told me it would be this way years ago, I would have through you were crazy.  Love it now.  
  • Waking up sober and nicotine free.  Yesterday would have been 12 years and two months without a cigarette.  I remember wondering if I would make it through the first day. 
  • LIfe.  I do not take it for granted that I can wake up each day.
