Best Thing About Today

The best thing about today is we have no deeds to do, no promises to keep-Groovy

The best thing is Kleenex because my nose is running.

The best thing is melons from the fruit store. I can imagine their succulent flavor.

The best thing is travelers are proceeding safely. Daughter had some adventures but inconveniences not catastrophes.

The best thing is sunshine and flowers I can see out the window.

The best thing is yet to be. I wait in expectation!

Celebrating “C”

Chocolate. National Chocolate Day. Indulge!

Carol! She can stretch her vacation so it’s almost a month.

Cats! They choose to love us when they choose.

Coincidences that work out for the best.

Comrades. The friends who you hear from daily.

Companion. My Hubby. He is washing today.

Oh say can you “C”!

Grateful Thursday

Working hard water work out.I am active and able to exert myself!

Being grateful even when others are talking about their pools and trips. I am grateful for what I have!

Sister’s successful surgery. She finally got someone to listen to her and her life should be improved. Moral don’t stop asking for a diagnosis!

Katherine’s beautiful pictures of flowers on Facebook. “She walks in beauty in the light!”

Cold water to quench my thirst. Nourishing food. Sunshine and breezes. Rest and replenish!

Thunderstorm ? I love ’em. I hope fireworks are over till next holiday.

Gratefully yours, ME!

 

Lucky Day

Lucky because the booms I heard were just fireworks.

Lucky because cut on my foot is healing. Soak, medicine and sock!

Lucky because with the help of my Church friends the raffle went well, the pancake breakfast was a success and we sold some drinks and popcorn for retreat money.

Lucky because though it is going to be hot we have air conditioners.

Lucky because I have no obligations today. An adult snow day!

Lucky that I have books to read!

Lucky we have food and water. Need to drink some!

Wishing you a lucky day!

Planning

Planning and envisioning the outcome. Helps me anticipate trouble spots.

Letting go of anything I can’t control. I would be grateful for sunshine tomorrow.

A note from my sister. Surgery Wednesday! Praying!

Pancakes and sausage for Hubby Tuesday. Drinks and popcorn for ME. (Don’t forget raffle tickets!)

Busy days- just go step by step. Today we do today!

Time to go to Doctor. Will be grateful to have it done!

If all goes as planned by tomorrow afternoon it will be over. If all doesn’t go as planned it still will. And I’ll be grateful!

Rainy Sunday

It would be lovely to go back to sleep or grab a book but time for Church. Praise for another month. God be with us in the next.

Looking forward to a quiet afternoon. Perhaps I will clean perhaps not. Grateful for the choice.

Indiana Jones is a rollicking ride. Everything you would expect and love the score.

When you can’t find what you wanted to wear nice to have plan B.

Plan B is always good. Is it Plan R if relating to rain.

Here’s to your plans whatever letter they might be!

Here I go on today’s ride! Whee!

“I Have Everything I Need” cbf

My friend Carol stated I have everything I need and I was amazed!

Pause! Ponder! Praise!

Thinking about need vs want. Needs met. Lucky ME!

Grateful for this day. The opportunity to be with ones I love doing what I want.

House is dirty but I have a house.

Rain predicted but the flowers are thirsty. Right now sun is shining!

Hope you have a grateful day!

Fantastic Friday

The balance between work , rest and play. Cleaning for my friend, a delightful stretch out then dinner out.

Restaurant no longer had what I had wanted but not waiter’s fault. Order and enjoy!

Stealing french fries from Hubby’s plate. Stolen fries taste best.

Made it through another week. Glad toxic air is gone! It’s nice to see the sky!

Hubby’s hunting for phone. Got it!

Tomorrow is July!  Love the memories when they pop up on my phone! So long June!
