Weekend

  • Family time before I go back to work.
  • Church.
  • Cold weather but I can stay warm.
  • Good music list set for the weekend and the new work week on my Spotify.
  • God.  So good to me.
  • My back is feeling better.  About 95% healed. Just in time for work.
  • The beautiful sunrise this morning.
  • The air got colder than the lake so there was a little lake fog on the horizon this morning. 
  • Gas prices going down.  Good for my heat. :)
  • This site.  Glad I can always find my way back. 

FRIDAY

  • Grateful for another day.  God is so very good to let me see it.
  • Missing my cat, Skeeter, but also grateful for less responsibilities during my recovery.
  • I go back to work Monday.  The more I think of it, the more it will be good to get back.  
  • 48 degrees on the lake sore this morning and 64 in the house.  Grateful I can handle that temp.  At some point, I will have to turn the furnace back on. :)
  • Comedy.  It does wonderful things to my mental health.
  • Nice warm blankets to cover me on the couch when needed.
  • My Amplified Holy Bible that came in the mail today and has large print.  
  • The sunrises when I can see them over the lake. 

TGIF

Week had its challenges but had high points too.

Grateful for new windows. Nice installer.

Fun to go see Disney Immersive. Pretty drive. Observant driver when truck changed lanes.

I’m feeling better today. Hubby still coughing but not as sick.

Quiet days. Good sleep. Being able to let things go!

Trusting that there is a plan but making phone calls.

Head hurts. So I stop!

My part of service is written out. Printer won’t print it but I can read.

Everything worth doing well is also worth doing poorly. Just do it!

Good Day

Wednesday Gratitudes

Back to tutoring reading at a local grade school.

So glad to be back in the classroom.

I love love love to read so it means a lot to me to help students with their reading skills!

Lunch with husbandTom, which is always a privilege!

Spending time with my friend David.

Delicious leftover dinner.

Jeopardy with Tom!

Choosing

I  choose to be grateful though I had an unexpected thing happen.

It didn’t change that I have friends who care.

It didn’t change that the sky is blue and sun is shining.

Five morning glories in the bush by the car.

I have everything I need the rest will fall into place!

Maybe next October I won’t even remember that which has me rattled!

So Grateful

This has been a tough day

But then I remembered how healing gratitude is!

So thankful to Paul for helping me clean out garage.

Morning glories are still blooming – heavenly blue.

Out to dinner with Tom

Watching Jeopardy is our routine – Tom is really accurate!

Watched the movie, Dumb Money – still don’t understand it.

Grateful for this life and all the chances and choices!

Busy Day

  • Trying to cancel my old phone account. Grateful for patient people. I at one point wasn’t. ☹️
  • I got my dental bill paid off today. Hooray!
  • It is a beautiful day weather wise up in Duluth, Minnesota. Cooler temperatures are coming, but it’ll still be good.
  • Five more days to enjoy off before I go back to work on Monday.
  • I got up and did my prayer and meditation. God is so GOOD!
  • I  got to hug and give my neighbor, who had to put her dog to sleep, my condolences.  Grateful I could do that. 
  • Good books to read on the way to the Mall while riding the bus. 

October 4th

Grateful for all that has happened. New bed and new windows. We have come so far!

Trusting that the problems they found putting in the windows will be fixed and funded.

Grateful Hubby is better. His cough had me worried. He is my other half!

Friends who listen. Friends who remind me to have faith.

Summery weather! Enjoy! Cold is around the corner!

May today be a good one! No surprises!
