I am grateful for the comfortable bed I slept in; for my phone waking me up when I needed to; for my poochie who likes to pounce on me when I wake up; for the soap, the shampoo, the conditioner; for the refrigerator, the stove and toilet; for bidets which make me smile!; for oatmeal breakfasts; for carpet/rugs to warm the floor; for blenders; for washing machines; for dryers; especially for clotheslines; for tea kettles; for flip-flops!!; for jeep jeep; for leashes; for sunshiney days; for the ability to walk farther today than yesterday; for lessening pain every day; for friends; for customers; for the building downtown that houses my store; for the newspaper delivery; for being able to pay my bills.....
I am so grateful for all of these things...my life is made so much easier and comfortable because of all of the conveniences that I forget about everyday.

Thunderstorms, Bicycles and Goldendoodle Puppies
...these are a few of my favorite things!
What a great day! I have worn flip-flops all week! One major reason to be grateful! Spring is here! Yay!
...which also means that thunderstorms, lilacs and bicycling every day is right around the corner!
I struggle daily with keeping positive...which is especially hard in the winter time...but now that spring is here, it is getting better!

Biting off more than I can chew!
So maybe one hundred things are way too much. :P It has been almost 9 months since I last posted. A lot has happened since then!
I have decided to start with just 10. I think I can manage that! And if repeated--hey it's all good :)
1. I am thankful to Chase Bank for being so agreeable to turn on all of the utilities so I can have the house that I am buying inspected!
2. I am truly blessed to have wonderful my parents and siblings who have supported me in my business and everything else, because no matter how I convince myself...I cannot do this alone and they make it so I don't have to!
3. With all my heart, I am truly grateful for my two besties Michelyn and Melissa because they are so similar, yet different--and because of that balance me, calm me down and offer me different perspectives. They truly help me swim through this sea of life.
4. I am truly thankful for each and every customer that walks through my door...because without them, I would have no business! Especially Carmen, Kathy, Janet and Tim who offer encouragement every time they walk in!
5. I am happy and grateful for my poochie, Kato because he brings me joy every day!
6. I am thankful for my landlord because he is understanding and let us out of the lease early
7. I am very grateful that I am healthy! Because I know so many who are not and I am thankful that I have no issues to worry about.
8. I am truly blessed to have my grandmother alive. She is my last grandparent and I am grateful that I can learn more about her and her life. She is a wonderful woman!
9. I am happy and thankful to be part of the rejuvenation of downtown, because I love this town and t's downtown. I am grateful it is so wonderful here because when I am blessed with a family, I know it will be a wonderful life for them!
10. With all of me, I am grateful that I found my way back to the Catholic church, because it centers me. I learned a lot from other denominations, but I feel comforted and at home within the walls of my church.
