Gratitude....

For this week...


After driving past several homes that have been abandoned or foreclosed upon, I was able to put our mortgage payment into the mailbox...I said a little "thank you Lord" as I did this....



My new deluxe hose and sprayer that made cleaning off the lanai (almost) a breeze. I love Home depot. :)


Good coffee already brewed when I drag myself into the kitchen....


Gas prices going down....I can fill up the car for $53.00 now.......


My new glasses....I can see so much better......


My family all agreeing to the "no Christmas gifts" policy that I am enforcing.....


My cousins Daughter getting accepted into the college near us so we will be able to spend time with her and that part of my family for the next 4 years....


Coach making me breakfast on Saturday AND Sunday.....


This pretty pink sunset....the camera did not quite capture the awesomeness....

  3. I love this, Suz. Happiness and contentment are all about being thankful for the little things that most of us take for granted. And on the "big balance sheet of life", there are so MANY things that we have, compared to the things that we DON'T have.... (esp compared to many, many others....)

    Consider yourself hugged from me, my beautiful friend! Love you, girl! :-)

  4. Counting your blessings is always good.

    BTW, I made the pumpkin recipe last night to rave reviews. It was even better than the one I already had. I did double, so that's what my book group is getting today too.

  7. I too, am grateful for many things. I think we forget all the things we have to be grateful for.
    For some time now, I have been meaning to stop by your blog here since it seems that I keep reading your comments at blogs that I read. The one at the top of my head is Jason's blog. Your comments always stand out to me because they are alway postive and so full of wisdom and compassion. So, today when I actually got some time to play on the computor I thought I would stop by. And am I glad that I did. I will be back.

  10. I just looked at your feedjit thing. That is pretty cool. I don't have any idea who comes to my blog or where they are from. I don't think I will put one on though because I used to be scared of those before I was an avid blogger : ) and I would always wonder if people knew who I was and where I lived. I know, wierd : )
