Father’s day 2020

  • Grateful for my father.  Although he has been gone almost 45 years, I still think of him.  Especially on Father’s Day.  
  • Taking the opportunity the past few days to sit out on my front porch, enjoy the lake view and read my Bible while drinking my coffee. 
  • My son.  I get to see him today and go to lunch with him.
  • I am still employed.  The past week was rough as we were short handed but I am still employed.  What a blessing!
  • My God.  Always with me.  I am thankful for each day he lets me wake up.
  • My family and friends. 
  • Watching some beautiful sunrises the past two days. :) 
  • Changing some routines in my mornings.  It might mean getting up a bit earlier but I feel it will be so worth it.  
  • My cat Skeeter.  He is my best boy!
  • Beautiful weather lately up in Duluth.
  • Good coworkers who are like family. 
  • Psalms.  This is the first time I am reading them all the way through. 
  • Good comedies on t.v.  Some of them are the older ones and I love them. 
  • I am sober and nicotine free another day.  If I were still smoking today and smoking what I did, I would be spending over 16 dollars a day.  I don’t know how I afforded it even when it was 8 dollars a day back when. 
  • God has seen fit to let a good friend from my Bible study hang in there.  She has been in the hospital longer than she would have liked but she is hanging in there.  I know, God’s will, not my own, but I hope she can get out of the hospital.  
  • Today I start all over, for what seems like the hundredth time, with eating healthy.  Grateful that I have not just given on on this.  I am worth it, I believe, and I can get this weight off.  
  • Two days off to relax and just enjoy life.  Back to work tomorrow.  Grateful I get to go back.  
  • Grateful that my son’s life is going on and he seems to be happy out on his own and financially secure.  He is my greatest treasure in life.
