Grateful that when I read something that was directed at me that I can let things go today anyways and didn't have to make a issue out of it even if I did get my fillings hurt over it. So I guess today I am grateful to know that even though people act like they like you doesn't mean that they really do or they wouldn't insult you LOL

I don't think they knew that I would be able to check things out though or maybe they just were not thinking at all.

Grateful that I am moving to Lincoln to spend more days with my Sister before her day comes that might be a good thing.

What might be a character defect to someone else could be a asset to the other. Thank goodness that we all have our own paths to go and what has been a blessing to me this time FINALLY is that Vic is just Vic and somedays I can be content with Vic while other days Vic's just way too much a nut..IMO I am a nut LOL

Happy 4th everyone!

Grateful for answered prayers~ I have an extended vacation and the summer days are beginning to wear on me. They're long. I prayed to God for some "excitement" in my life.."But not too much, Lord!"

Just received an e-mail from my cousin who lives in a different state. He'd like his daughter to come spend a few days with us in our home state! She's a really good kid who loves to travel! His only regret is that work won't allow his wife and him to visit as well!

I am so excited! I am already making plans!

Thanks to God for answering my prayer!!! What a blessing!

Liberty~

I lost my best friend 8 years ago and every year, we have a big weekend get-together in his memory. Fishing, camping, cookout, laughter. Drinking.

This is the first time I did not drink. The beauty of nature (it really is paradise), sharing with others, helping others, fishing, eating, laughing, playing with the kids, visiting with my friend’s mother, sister, and cousins.

Honoring my friend.

I feel so content this morning, everything as it should be.

Grateful.

Grateful for the woman at McD's who filled each child's ice cream cone more than any cone I have ever seen filled before!

Grateful for the time to sit back and watch the kids struggle with the ice cream cones. What fun!

Grateful for pure enjoyment, no alcohol needed. Grateful that I was not hungover today.
