I Am Grateful

At work, they asked where I had been. I was smiling seeing the reaction of fellow workers upon seeing me back. Nobody knew....Then...one by one approached to give me work. I tried my best to look busy. hehe...


I took time in between, to make a list of things I am grateful for, to remind me not to give up when the day's little "toxicities" threatened me.


-Waking up to a new day and back to work early.

-My dogs are healthy. They were well taken cared of while I was away.

-Brought so many memories worth sharing. It was all God's grace.

-I am grateful for the bonding time with my son.

-I am grateful for the people who took charge of our home and garden and garage while we were gone. There's nothing like home.

-The view out my window this morning. Peace and quiet in the neighborhood. Grateful for neighbors who stay connected but aren't intrusive.

These things reminded me that problems/difficulties can come, but there's always something  beautiful to give us hope.
