    I have not stopped by for a few days. But I have been grateful for many things and people.
    Today I am grateful for
    my daughters and the wonderful young women they are becoming.
    The new bible study I am starting
    That God has provided for our needs and many of our wants.

    It is a beautiful partly cloudy chilly day. It looks like oregonlady and I are thinking alike once again. :flowerforyou:

    Today I am grateful for:

    1. New Balance WIDE crosstrainers. OMG I just found them! Finally - comfort.
    2. Reggae music: specifically SpearHead (Michael Franti) "Rebel Rockers"
    3. A body healthy enought to dance to #2.

    I know I've used this one before but I've been watching it again today.
    I'm grateful for the birds outside. How seeing that God is watching over them and providing for them gives me the confidence to know He is taking care of me and for that I am very grateful.

    It is a beautiful gray day today with no rain! And oregonlady has shared a close-up of her tee shirt. :huh: .....I like it.

    I am so grateful for my roommates.

    1. Senior Siamese - - He always wants to be right next to me (though HE must initiate any "touching".)
    2. Beautiful Ms.Tortie - - She will chase a feather-toy to exhaustion. **NOTE: she has a beautifully toned physique and incredible stamina!
    3. BigBlackLapCat - - This boy is a hunk-o-lazy-love-and-shyness.

    Robin, it's probably just water weight. Don't stress over it. Enjoy your getaway with your husband. I just found a new spot only an hour away. If I can save up some money sometime I'm going to surprise DH.

    Today I am grateful that we have enough money to go grocery shopping today and we have a gift card so we are having lunch at the Olive Garden. I like that we are going for lunch so I can have soup and I am hoping to stop at one breadstick! those things are the:devil:

    I'm also grateful that we both are healthy, there is so much flu/colds going around. Plus I know a few that are struggling with the pain of cancer. Some of these people are such an inspiration to us. Praising God through their pain and their families pain. It keeps my problems in perspective.

    It is a beautiful Friday. Where are all my grateful MFPers? Good morning! :happy:

    I am grateful today for some really simple things. If you can find beauty in the smallest of pleasures, life is so much more - pleasant.

    1. My plain, unpainted #2 Cedar pencil. The kind you have to sharpen. The kind with a pink eraser.
    2. My flannel sheets with the little colored leaves.
    3. My fave hand-thrown blue coffee cup

    I'm grateful that
    I got to sleep in too! and it felt so good!
    I don't have to go anywhere today! It is 0F and feels like -13F. Warmer than last weekend but still cold!
    I already know what I'm making for small group tomorrow, chili! so I can do that today and have it ready for tomorrow. I like when I can plan ahead.
