For the month of November I posted on Facebook 30 days of gratitude. They were as follows: 1. Grateful for "Fall Back".
2. Grateful for technology that let's us see everyone's Halloween pix and share in the fun.
3. Grateful that I can feel connected to my mom just be eating one of her classic. breakfasts...grapenuts, a sliced banana and a bowlful of milk.
4. Grateful for great-great grandparents who "were truly a pioneer family, ever generous to a fault, the needy applicant was never turned from their door empty handed" obit. Sarah Ann Devoe Woolf 1814-1905.
5. Grateful that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.5a.Grateful that the Louvre is an iPhone app...hooray, I'm in Paris while sitting in my favorite chair.
6. Grateful for The Star-Spangled Banner and all that it represents.
7. Grateful for women of courage, especially Kimberly Munley.
8. Grateful for the creative industry of the Nigerians. Today I really had a good laugh at their latest scam approach. Too bad "Roger" forgot how to spell his name at the end and signed off as "Rogger". Did he subliminally mean "Robber"?
9. Grateful for and missing loyal friends.
10. Grateful to live so close to the ocean for morning and evening walks.
11. Grateful for the veterans...both those who did and did not make it home...and who have served our country so fearlessly.
12. Grateful for Primary songs that gladden the heart and soothe a baby's soul.
13. Grateful for delicious Mexican food on the waterfront.
14. Grateful for parents kind and dear, sister Cheryl who is conscientious, brother John who is hard-working, brother Fred who is compassionate, sister Marlene who is cheerful, sister Sandy who is diligent, and brother Bill who is my resource for many many things.
15. Grateful for The Plan of Happiness.
16. Grateful that inspite of a few severe childhood illnesses and occasional setbacks I've been blessed with really great health, and for me that's priceless.
17. Grateful for airplanes.
18. Grateful for the hospitality and good manners in the midwest.
19. Grateful that 33 years ago I woke up and had a Chelsea morning. Happy Birthday Chelsea!
20. Grateful to celebrate Juliette's birth day in a few hours. So far so good. All systems full speed ahead.....Ahoy there matey!
21. Baby Juliette decided it would be much luckier to have a birthday on 11-21 (as opposed to 11-20) so she waited to make her grand entrance until 3:42 am this morning. I'm grateful that baby J, Brittany, and Jordan are doing fine. The rest of us continue to catch up on Baby Einstein and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes. Happy Birthday Juliette!
22. Grateful that Mr. Winter is behaving himself long enough that Jordan, w/ a little assistance from moi, was able to get up the lights and no one fell off the roof.
23. Grateful that I wasn't raised with a Minnesota accent. If one more person at the Trader Joe's asks me if Ive tried the cranberry/goat cheese log because it's "real good, doncha know" I might have to punch them.
24. Grateful that a little boy named Sawyer joined our family one year ago today. Happy Birthday Sawyer!
25. Grateful for a quick tour of St Paul Cathedral--stunning, inspiring, beautiful stained glass and the pipe organ music was magnificent.
26. Grateful that our country is unified on this day by expressing thanks collectively. Happy Thanksgiving!
27. Grateful for leftovers.
28. Grateful for rain when you need it and sun when you need it, snow and fog and wind and cool breezes...grateful for the many varieties of weather and seasons.
29. Grateful for the Atonement.
30. Grateful.
And now for the highlights of the past 2 weeks spent in Woodbury, MN:
THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
