Its Tuesday! 5/9

I had a pretty rough headache last night.

Today was weird at work with some unusual events.

1. Thankful for working with people who have a heart for kids with learning difficulties. 💛

2. Thankful state testing will soon be over.....📚

3. Gratitude to my friend Lynn who has a huge heart and ministry for those thst she comes in contact with. Being a coach isn't just a job for her, it is truly ministry. I felt that tonight and needed it.🔥💪

Gratitude journal weekend edition

This weekend was the first since January without grad school assignments hanging over my head like a swarm of gnats in hot Georgia summer. I am very thankful for restoration:

1. Naps. Need I say more? 

2. Youth ministers that help my kids see Godly role models and that its ok and cool to be a positive peer model for friends. 


3. Jane Austen. (Persuasion this weekend...poor Anne!)
4. Greek food and greek festival in Augusta twice a year.
5. My kids that can go from arguing about miniscule slights at bedtime to arguing fictional ones when told by myself and their father to hug it out like Gemora and Nebula.

5 by 5

So out if the evening routine I didn't post last night.

1. Aside from the irony of many people who complain about immigration populations ones packing out restaurants last night, I am thankful for queso dip on a friday night.

2.I am thankful to be healthy and be able to afford going to a gym that pushes me to be better.

May the fourth be with you...day 4 gratitude journal

May the fourth be with you! (And also with you).

I am thankful for today...
1. Chips and queso
2. When your coach says "Time to cool down and stretch" after a killer workout
3. Looking up Greek myths to make a pun in a terrible poem you are going to give a friend tomorrow.
4. For a washer and dryer that works, where so much of the world scrubs by hand still with water drawn from wells and streams, especially when all of your towels and towels for the dog are dirty.
5. For Lucasfilms and little girls growing up seeing strong female lead in Carrie Fisher.

Gratitude journal Day 3

Gratitude Journal #1 May 1st

My sweet friend has challenged me to  do a gratitude journal and I will go into that in a bit why its so meaningful coming from her. But to get started here it goes.

1. I am grateful to my God who loves and cherishes me before I was born.
2. I am grateful for running water that is clean and purified unlike a large number of people on this earth.
3. I am grateful for ability on my phone or computer to be lifted up by friends through sharing of their lives.
4. I am grateful for a cat's purring, it just seems to slow my heart beat and blood pressure and stress.
5. I am greatful for a husband that cooks dinner and packs it for my lunch the next day. Helpmates and soulmates are hard to find.

More later but that is it for today.
