Here we are, it's the last Thursday of 2023 and my last chance to share a little bit of gratitude for some of life's blessings. There is so much to be thankful for this week so buckle up Buttercup, 'cause here we go!
This week I am thankful...
** Our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren are in Erie enjoying a belated birthday trip for Colton. With his birthday right before Christmas the trip needed to wait until afterward. They are staying at a hotel connected to an indoor water park and they are having a blast!
** We had a great Christmas and enjoyed being able to give our family the things they really wanted and seeing their happiness and excitement.
** I have a job I mostly love and am able to do despite the pain in my leg. I am going to have to start working one day a week in the shredding department again for the foreseeable future...guaranteed since another new hire quit today after just a couple of weeks. I will continue to hope and pray that my new doctor will be able to give me relief from the pain.
** Tim's nightmare project is pretty much over so no more ridiculously long hours for the time being. We've been able to spend some much needed time together relaxing and reconnecting.
** Oliver is prowling around the house during the night so I am hopeful that one of these days he will be brave enough to join us during the day.
** Pretty new winter nails (always a pick me up!).
** Some pretty serious resolve to lose weight and get healthier in the new year.
** Other than aches and pains we, and those we love, continue to remain healthy.
** Some of the world's best co-workers.
** All the beautiful Christmas lights.
** My own lovely tree glowing softly in the corner.
** My husband, my daughter, my precious grandchildren, and all the rest of my family.
** Great friends.
** I live in a country that in spite of all its problems, is still one of the greatest places to live.
** God loves me (and you!) so much that He sent His only Son to save us and that's why we celebrate this season.
** And of course, I'm very thankful for you!

ReplyDeleteGreat post. I am envious of those nails. I stopped biting mine finally but they are fragile things and I can't let them get too long.
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy, I like your nails! I am glad you had a nice Christmas. I use hope you can get your leg problem fixed. I am still having shoulder pain with certain movements. I need to get back to my regular exercise. Have a Happy New Year!!!
