Work

 I’m grateful I’ve been able to catch up at work a little. 

Bit by bit

 I’m grateful to be able to work in the quiet today and get some filing done. I wish it wasn’t such a time consuming process. 

Finally home

 I’m grateful that I got to see all my kids and grandkids this weekend even though it was camping. I’m grateful camping is over. 

Still not camping

 I’m grateful for safety. We’ve had all these kids around the water (Vander floated away in the wind on the water in a kayak.) and the fire. I pray for continuing safety for the rest of the camping trip. 

Not camping

 I’m out camping. Not grateful for camping at all. I am grateful for hanging out with my kids. 

Graduation! Listening ears.

 I’m grateful to have another graduate this year. Seven down, one to go. Last night was graduation for Minico. She was in the Top Ten of her class. 

Tonight I’m grateful for listening ears and sharing hearts in class. 

Lucky boy

 Kade sent us a text that he had jacked up his 4-wheeler and was using a grinder on it. He realized his eyes were burning and then smelled gas! The tank was full and when he jacked it up, the gas was leaking out of the cap and running down the machine. I am grateful for a mother’s prayer of safety that was answered. 

Stumped

 I worked almost 13 hours today. I’m tired and my brain may have already gone to sleep. I’m grateful that my laundry got done this weekend and it is no stress laying out my clothes. 

Changes

 I grateful for changes in church callings. I’m sad I was released but glad to see the new teacher step into the responsibility. She did a great job. 

Slacked so here’s two.

 I had a crazy busy day yesterday. I worked till 2:00 and had to figure out the recipe for our Girls’ Night with ladies from work. I’m grateful that the party turned out nice. The food was great, too. I went to relieve Kassy babysitting. They got back and I still had to go to the gym. 

Today I’m grateful for a quiet day mostly by myself. I’m grateful to have slept in until 10:00 and even a nap! I’m grateful for all the cleaning and laundry Klay and I got done.

Awareness

 I need to be looking for things to be grateful for instead of searching my brain late at night to remember. 

Today I’m grateful that my headache I woke up with went away and I could feel pretty good the rest of the day. 

Communication

I got upset with a coworker today. I’m grateful for communication to get things worked out. 

Work and seminary

 It’s late and I missed yesterday. 

1. Work…grateful the platform switchover wasn’t more painful than it was. 

2. Seminary…Kassy graduated tonight and gave a great talk. I’m grateful that seminary taught her some great life lessons. 

So busy-3 in one

 This weekend has been a blur. We went to Caldwell and back on Friday. Grateful for good food!

Saturday we tried to buy a fridge (gone) and then found a freezer (not for sale).  That was disappointing but found a newish turkey roaster. I’m grateful for inexpensive replacements. We use turkey roasters several times a year. 

Sunday…church was good. I’m grateful for a talk on temples. Burley’s temple seemed so far in the future when it was announced. The ground breaking is happening in a couple weeks so I’m guessing the dedication is only a couple years away. 

Good books

 I have found audiobooks lately. I’m grateful for them and the love of reading (listening) that is coming back. 

Pampered Chef

 I’m grateful for Pampered Chef. I was within hours of losing my business. I squeaked out an order to stay in and now have almost $200 in orders afterwards. Crazy. 

It was what got me through the loss of Kris. I’ve met so many people. It’s been good for me. 

Clouds

 As I was driving back to work from getting the mail, I noticed the clouds and took a picture. I’m grateful for beautiful clouds that aren’t snowing. (It snowed at least three times yesterday.)

Mom

 My mom’s birthday is today so she gets an extra post. I’m grateful for the patience she had shown through my life. I’m not thinking I was an easy kid. ‘Nuf said. 

No brain

 I have so many things to do at the end of the day before I get to go to sleep. I have forgotten this step for a couple of days. 

Friday: overtime

Saturday: free firewood…and the help to get it home. 

Sunday: Mothers. I’m grateful for my mom and the strength she’s shown having had cancer so many times. I’m grateful for my mother in law that helped me when my kids were so little. I’m grateful for my daughters in law that have been such good mothers. 

Possible Repeat

 I’m so thankful for this class. I hope what I say really helps someone. I love the discussion. 

Missed one.

 I missed a day but I don’t see any views for a long time so I suppose it isn’t terrible.

Yesterday was my sister’s birthday. I’m grateful for all the help she has offered to me over the years. 

Today I’m grateful for my ability to read and listen to books.

Committed but frustrated

 It appears no one is reading this blog. I guess it’s for me anyway. I am grateful to be able to sleep and have the day off tomorrow. I’m grateful work went well today even though was a 13 hour day. 

Missed another but…

 …it really doesn’t matter. No one is reading these. Two gratefuls…one that my kids have learned to work and play together. Two, it is time to go to bed. Grateful that I have a bed and warm house to sleep in.
