Making the choice to cut out energy drinks this past week.  It has been a good choice.

Trying to cut back on caffeine in other areas too.

Staring to record my calories again.

Getting back into my Bible Plans on YouVersion and reading the whole chapter of the bible quote I post on Facebook.

Slowly waking up on days off.  Sometimes I wish I worked a little later shift.

Vacation in about three weeks.

God.

Grateful for time off but it sure does fly.

Haircut today.

Windy out today but nice temperatures.

God in my life.

Making some positive changes in my life.  Baby steps.

The quiet of the morning.

Birds hopping around my maple tree.

Cool morning breeze.

Time to contemplate life

I get to go to Bible study and be with a couple of my favorite ladies tonight.

Four more days off after today.  I need to get going around the house.  Things will get done as they should.  Grateful to not have hip pain so I can do things.

Being able to attend a coworker’s retirement party and also work on my day off and get some overtime.

Good food delivered to me from Instacart.

A beautiful day weather wise, but a tad hot.

I woke up.  :)  Thanks be to God.

Wonderful coworkers.  We can band together and get the job done. :)

Vacation time. :)

Good music on Spotify.

Waking up slowly and without an alarm.

I am on vacation!

Waking up without an alarm….slowly to the sunrise.

Rest.

God.

My family and friends

Wonderful coworkers who band together when it is crazy busy at work.

A good breakfast.

Prayer and Meditation.

Early mornings where I don’t have to rush out the door.

Sober and nicotine free another day.  Always a gift.

Any day I  am upright, breathing, walking and talking.

I am grateful to have sick time today.  I fell on Saturday down my stairs from my second floor.  Bounced down on my back and butt.  Back is slowly getting better but tailbone is still pretty sore.

I woke up today.  God…..THANK YOU!

Even if I missed church yesterday, God is till with me and I always have YouVersion and my Bible.

More rain coming.  I think we have made up for it, but it does make the flowers and grass beautiful.

My son.  Enough said. :)

Grateful that my son has his best friend turning 29 today.  They have known each other since Kindergarten and continued to be friends and more like brothers.

The internet. I would not have found this site without it. :)

God. Thank you for letting me awaken to see a new day.

Two days off, counting yesterday.  

A wonderful hour long massage yesterday. Thank you Patty for the gift certificate. 

Getting turned around at the Mall as my bus stop got switched to the other side of the building.  Because of this, I got plenty of walking in and made my 10,000 step goal.  It was fun to look at all the stores in the Mall and also had a good meal after my massage. 

My son, two brothers and a brother’s wife and my niece went up to the cemetery on Saturday to pay respects to our parents.  Happy 109th birthday in Heaven, Pops.  We had dinner together after we left the cemetery.  I am so grateful to have my siblings alive and son living close  and family living locally so we can get together. 

A nice bath with Epsom salts last night.  Much needed.

The sun is out!  It is only 46 degrees but it is still good. :)

Good music and good books. 

Another sober and nicotine free day.  

We lost an employee from another department to lung cancer recently. He was a wonderful employee and friend.  He would jump in and help anybody, not matter what department you worked in.  He got sober and quit smoking years ago and remained that way till his death.  I am grateful to have known him all these years and the many, many conversations we had.  RIP Randy.

Waking up slowly this morning.  I love days off when I can do that and I can gradually start my day. 

Church service that was lovely as always this morning.  God is so GOOD. 

The beautiful day outside.  Loved seeing Laker Superior with the sun cascading off it when I walked home today.

A good pizza.  

A wonderful time with my son yesterday at the Twins baseball game.

Dinner with my son.

Just getting out of town was wonderful.

A wonderful vacation.  I am sad it is coming to the end but grateful to have had it. 

Naps in the middle of the day when I am off.

Good coffee

Chatting with my boss.  She was at a Rock concert not far from where my son and I were yesterday.  She was starting her evening as we were headed back home to finish ours. 

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. 

God.  Talking with God in the morning starts my day off right.

Time off to slowly wake up and enjoy my day.

Being able to call a friend/coworker who retired from work about 3 years ago and wish her a Happy Birthday.  Grateful we have maintained contact since she retired. 

YouTube and other social media.  It is amazing how much good info you can find.  The drama and the negative posts/videos I can just pass on by.

Beautiful morning on the lake shore.  It started out foggy but the sun is peaking out and hopefully will burn off the fog.  At any rate, it is a good day.

The News.  I know there are news stations that people do not like, but I do love my local one I watch in the morning when I am off.

Family Feud!  Still love that show!

String cheese and raspberries. :)

People who make me laugh.  Thankfully, I have many. 

Another day I am not drinking or smoking.  Life is GOOD!
