Technology

  • Easy of getting hold of my doctor.
  • Making new and lasting friends on sites.
  • Paying bills easier.
  • An assortment of information online.
  • Loads of music at your fingertips.
  • When COVID hit and we could not get together for Bible study, technology kept us together.
  • Being able to take our phones with us.  Couldn’t do that in the day.  You either missed the call, or if you had an answering machine, you found out later who called you. 
  • Grateful that although I love technology, I don’t forget that there is a life outside the computer and cell phones. ;)
  • God is everywhere, even in technology.

Up

Imagine two ladies making their way up a trail. One would advance then hand off the hiking staff to the other and we went step by step up the hill.

Don’t remember laughing but we must have looked comical.

We made it up!

Grateful for trails that will be easier!

My spirits are up as I’m finally on the other side of my cold.

Up early to go to swim exercise.

Tomorrow Drs appt. Think my weight is down!

Going upstairs today to look for Fall clothes.

Keep looking up! You got this!

 

Today’s Gratitudes

Such a wonderful day!

We talk about everything, sometimes even books – lol

I cut out paper dolls during book group

It was fun to return to a childhood fun thing to do

Hiked with Mary Ellen for our Fall Hiking Spree

Dinner with Tom at Aladdin’s

Relaxing this evening – thank you God!

TODAY

  • I am grateful for still having time off as I woke up with a back ache.  It would be hard to start back to work with this.
  • Security and IT got me all back into what I need for work.
  • My new phone is such a blessing and so fast compared the the old one.  Happy to have it, since I haven’t had a land line for years.
  • God, thank you for just letting me awaken to see another day.
  • The beautiful lake and the waves, alone with the sunshine.
  • My son.  He is such a blessing.
  • I get to live live today, not to be taken for granted. 

GRATEFUL

  • I am grateful for today.  Thank you God.
  • I am grateful for IT techs at work who are trying to get me back into the system before I go back.  
  • I am grateful for the rain.  Although there was flooding in certain areas, we were so behind this summer, we needed precipitation
  • I am grateful for my family.  We get together more than we used to due to football. ;) 
  • I am grateful my new Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner came today and that I did not have to work so hard to put it together like past vacuum cleaners.
  • I am grateful for this site and other social media, although sometimes I think I spend too much time on Facebook, Instagram, X, etc.   That will change when I go back to work. 
  • I am grateful that they are fixing the leak in my son’s ceiling at his apartment. 

Grateful For Weekend

Friday night family time. Bears repeating!

Grateful for quiet Saturday as we have colds

Grateful Hubby”s COVID test was negative. Will watch him for bronchitis!

Meaningful Church service, Sermon about forgiveness.

Singing Amazing Grace. Love that hymn!

Rest before EJ which I attended as a guest instead of usher. I was home before 7:30 p.m.

Calling my sister would have been easy not to do but she was so eager to talk. We talked till my phone went dead.

Grateful for my family may I never push them away.

10 o’clock and all is well!

 

TODAY

  • Today it is raining but it is all good.
  • Listening to sound of the rain hit my roof over my porch is calming.

Something Was Missing

Like being told you couldn’t sing I felt empty to not be able to express my gratitude. Thank you Crystal for the prompt fix.

Having three emails for Crystal I sent my distress to all three and Messenger too. Funny in retrospect! Dear friend thank you for your tolerance!

Thank you Karen for telling me she was having trouble too.  I was sure it was just something I was doing wrong.

Dinner with family last night. Marvelous! Good food and lots of catching up!

But the empty chair represented the sister who wanted to be there and the ghost who should have been.

Grateful for problems solved and patience!
