gratitude
What I like about today:
I ate soup I made out of vegetables I grew.
My retrievers' ears - soft and silky with just a little bit a burrs to prove they're retrievers.
I have enough $ to help my sister-in-law out with her college expenses. She is a single mom of 3 and helping her makes me feel like John D. Rockafeller.
Cool rain prevents me from working outside and make house extra cosy.
Beautiful goldenrod and asters on table.
A friend called to ask me to join our group for Fri. PM supper at a local restaurant.
Thanks to going to Ohio Gathering last weekend I found out DS people are real and wonderful.
Sacred Harp sing on Sunday to look forward to.
Choice of clothes to put on - they may be from Goodwill, but they're clean dry and reasonably attractive.
Cinnamon scented candle -no, make that cinnamon scented anything.
Knowing I'l see my darling one day and he'll take me by the hand and show me all the universes he has traveled to. He'll explain, I won't understand, but I'll stand there grinning 'til my teeth dry out. (if teeth dry out in heaven)
My students, especially kindergartners, even though they're putting the age on me. Crazy cute! Also crazy!
I get a little better by fits and starts.

SOOO important to stop and count those blessings often! Most of my clothes are from Goodwill too and saving those $$ is just one more thing to add to the list. And the little ones....you can\'t help but smile when you hear some of the things they say and see some of the things they do..Thanks for reminding us all about GRATITUDE!

We do have so much to be thankful for.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
II Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Your journal is very uplifting! Seeing our blessings instead of all that we lack makes life worth living!

Wonderful journal entry...I need to be reminded of all the thinks I need to be thankful for, thanks Hugs Lu Ann
YES! We all do have things to be thankful for, and I am so grateful that we do. Just seeing a butterfly flit usually puts a smile on my face -- ummm, yep! Love butterflies. Beautiful flowers, trees, birds, all do the same. The extra Special things are being with my children and grandchildren. There are many many thanks to give to the Lord everyday. Thank you for reminding us.
Hugs, Joely
I love you guys. You\'re always on my gratitude list!
