Grand daughter in Texas now with our great grand daughter. Grand son a nice young man in High School.Active at Church. Avid reader! Peace, Love and Daily Naps!

Now Thank We All Our God

Abundant gratitude as the circle admits a mew member.

Who is this blessing? Time will reveal her character.

Asked by the parents not to shout it from the mountaintops so the news is whispered from person to person.

Grateful for safe passage and prayers for healing.

A picture shows a grin. I do not recognize you but I am pledged to love.

Welcome! Grateful for God’s confidence that the world should go on.

Finding joy in unexpected sunshine and peace as the season changes.

“Now thank we all our God with hearts and hands and voices who wondrous things has done in whom the world rejoices!”

Tuesday (Again)

Putting down my needle to write a while. I’m dreaming of stitching. Grateful to. put it aside for a while.

Feeling cranky. Feeling no reason to analyze why. I just am. I am what I am!

I usually greet a new month enthusiastically but September doesn’t seem to fill me with joy. Too many things on the calendar. I like being a sloth.I like alibis!

Gray skies match my mood. Enjoyed the pictures of storm clouds on Facebook.

OK Here goes. I’m grateful for puppy snuggles though they may not keep him.

I’m grateful I hadn’t locked myself out but sad my daughter is questioning my competency.

I’m sorry I’m questioning my competency.I was laughing at myself and they were laughing at me.

I wish I had three wishes but am grateful I don’t because I would waste them.

Here’s to tomorrow when I’ll feel stable again.

Will the puppy be accepted by the old cats here? Time will tell. Puppy Love?

Fading Summer

I replaced the dead hanging baskets with mums yesterday. The petunias brought me joy but the bright color of the new ones makes me smile.

The morning glories greet me daily. I long to see a Heavenly Blue but love the purple ones.

Some schools started yesterday. Smiles abound on Facebook pictures. Pictures of my grandson 10th grade! Grateful to see the happy, healthy family.

Grateful Hubby is feeling good enough to mow. I should give him $20 for his efforts.

The class reunion that seemed so far away is this weekend. Exciting!

Puppy sitting today. We have an exciting day planned.

Grateful to have found stuffed animal  I was searching for for great to be! She is my sunshine too.

Make me grateful for what can be instead of longing for what can not. As Summer fades let me remember the splendor of the Fall.
