Grateful for all of your grats. :) It gives me more to be grateful for to hear of what you're grateful for. :)

Today I'm grateful for my brother coming all the way into town when he didn't have to, just to feed Billie and take care of the cats. :hug: Grateful to have him for my brother. :hug:

Grateful for a haircut this morning.
Grateful for a good night's sleep.
Grateful for glorious sunshine ... and more rain on the way next week.
Grateful to hear from an old friend who also lost her spouse.
Grateful for all of you here.

NL, LOL..your poor pups little paws...LOL
CBS, thinking of you and your Mom
Free, happy to hear you got to ski powder. When I was living back there I did back country skiing..Yoyo skiing. Had a blast

haha, Billie is the same way. Not bothered by thunder or fireworks, but God forbid she should go outside when it's raining and hates walking on wet grass. :dee I have a towel by the front door just for dog-wiping and she knows it but she hates getting wet to begin with. :yikes:

Well, it's evening now, but what the heck... ;) I'm grateful the neighbor kid texted me that he would be coming over to feed Billie and take her out. I'm going to ask him to get one of my plastic poopy bags before he takes her out in case she drops a dog bomb. I cleaned up at least 15 canine land mines from the yard today. If I have him start picking up the poop, it won't build up like that. Going to ask bro if he's been picking it up. He knows where the bags are kept.

Also very grateful for the medical alert pendant that I got, thanks to the agency on aging picking up the tab. My pendant is specific to me cause when I test-called twice yesterday, they answered me with my name and asked me if I needed help. :) I think that's pretty cool. I'm supposed to test-call at least once a month to make sure it's working. It's supposed to be charged no more than four hours, every two weeks. I keep reading the brochure to get familiar with its various lights, the color and whether or not they flash or are solid.

Grateful that I'm sober cause that makes all things possible. :)

Riley always makes a bee line for leaves, snow, piles of snow, any form of water..especially rivers and streams. He has a lot of adventure in him for a Shih Tzu. He loves to hike and jump onto large rocks or logs.

Grateful for a nice visit with company last night (and now I am ignoring them like a bad hostess but just for a few). The Trail of Lights was a bit more like the Trial of Lights.

Grateful I was sober.
Grateful we got take out then came home and watched Elf as a group.

Grateful for 9 hours of sleep! I believe this is a first since being a teenager. Lol

Going to see my mom this morning. I tried to order groceries on line. It was so confusing and crazy I couldn't figure it out. So after I see my mom, I have to go grocery shopping, my least liked chore. Maybe on Sunday, it won't be so crowded. I was reading that one of my friends hasn't been to the grocery store in 2 years, she orders everything and it always turns out well. I wish I could figure it out. Maybe I should try a different store.
Grateful for all of you.
Fearless, thank you for being such a good friend to me. :hug:
Grateful for you all and all your support.
Love and peace to you all. 💗☮✝☪💫💞

PS, congrats on four years sober! :hug:

Grateful that my new doorbell was delivered today tho it went to the house next door. I went over and got it and installed it and now I have a working doorbell again. :)

Palmer, congrats on four years! Awesome!
Fearless, re making a teddy bear from your dad's shirt -- PM me. I'd love to make a teddy bear for you, or send you a pattern.
Grateful for the time to work on a bunch of small home improvement projects.
Grateful to discover the "Buy Nothing" groups on Facebook ... I've been giving away lots of stuff that is still useful, but I don't need.
Grateful for time yesterday with my daughter in law and grandson.
Grateful for the sunshine today, and the birds migrating through my yard (bushtits and yellow-rumped warblers yesterday!)

I have made it back home after visiting my mom for a week in Florida. She is in the hospital rehab section but we still don't have a diagnosis. Hopefully , this week they can do some more tests and figure it out. It was so hard to say goodbye to her yesterday. I have tried very tactfully to encourage my 3 siblings that live there to please make sure she gets a visitor everyday.

Turs I love the buy nothing concept. We are giving our children a few things that they will like that we can't use anymore. But I have certainly done some shopping.
least I am impressed that you installed your own doorbell.
Aly I do online grocery shopping a lot. We have a Wegmans here that has it down to a science and it works well. I pick it up curbside.
Fearless 9 hours sleep sounds heavenly. We took an overnight train last night and I was only able to nap even though we were in a sleeper. Maybe tonight.
Hev I agree I am so grateful for this thread.
Free Challah and salmon sounds yummy.

Fearless, will do. I am about ready to start the dough
Least, for whatever reason I now have the song "Ding dong the witch is dead....." From the Wizard of Oz. Probably because you got a new doorbell. LOL
