Gratitude

On the evening before we embark on our epic odyssey to the Pacific I want to take a moment and share my gratitude for

1. The financial means to be able to go.
2. New memories ahead
3. Kevin's willingness to take two weeks out of his life to come with me. *wink*

I'm going to Hawai'i!!!!!!!!

A Stalwart Son

I know I've expressed gratitude for him before, but I think I can never be tired of being grateful for Greg!

1. That he hasn't let his life challenges keep him down
2. That he has an exceptionally smart head on his shoulders
3. His attitude of service.
   

In Gratitude and Loving Memory...

We thank Thee, O God....

1. For a Prophet.
2. Who loved us and set an example to follow.
3. And for the knowledge that families can be together forever.
   

Surgical Gratitude

I really need to make a better effort at this... *sigh*

• I'm grateful my surgery went well and I was up and walking (even down and up stairs) Thursday night.
• I'm grateful it was "only" a labral tear and not like my shoulder or knee--even though I was very surprised there wasn't any more damage this time!
• I'm grateful that it appears I won't have to use the pain medications prescribed.
  

Prayer of Thanksgiving

I have MUCH to be grateful for this evening.

1. I am grateful that Kevin kept his wits about him while I was losing mine.
2. I'm grateful we all got out of the house (including Zoey and my 25 year old Snoopy)
3. I'm grateful the fire department didn't give up when it "didn't feel right" and found the compressor on the fridge had caught fire instead of the light in the ceiling.
   
4. I'm very very grateful that our home is intact and I'm (eventually, if I settle down) sleeping in my own bed tonight.

I need--something...

Fluffy feline furball therapy?
Retail therapy?

Something.

Season of Gratitude

Oops. It's been over a month since I last posted here. I need to make a better effort to post my paltry three things I'm grateful for, especially since it's Thanksgiving time.

I'm thankful for

1. My gift/talent of writing. As a result of my blog/writing, I've connected with two old friends in the past week.
2. Dreams (the sleeping kind). Thanks to a few dreams I've been having lately I've been able to hug my dad as well as talk to him and someone else I'm unable to talk to for reasons I'm not sure I get--but if they're what I think they are then it makes sense.
3. My job. I love, love, LOVE my job--and the paycheck that comes with it!
   

Employment Gratitude

I'm grateful for:

• A job that I enjoy doing
  
• The constant variety of my workday
• That I only work 17 hours a week (usually!)
