blessings: june 7, 2009

I thought it might be a good idea to count my blessings, and really think about the many things I have to be thankful for:



i am thankful for two beautiful daughters and the beautiful music they played at their recital yesterday



i am thankful for friends, who came and sat through the very long recital in support



i am thankful for brothers-in-law who came to fix the computer, the lights, the door, the sink, the toilet, and try to catch the new family of mice i seem to have in my cabinets



i am thankful for friends who came to clean my dirty house -- thank you for a clean bathroom with new bathmat and shower curtain



i am thankful for social security - yes! social security! its nice to know the system is there to help when you need it



i am thankful for my dear husband -- who worked stinkin' hard for over thirty years of his life - not making as much as he would have liked -- but, without realizing it -- contributed enough to SS to make a difference in his family's life



i am thankful for bud's place of work, whose benefits package allows us to comfortably manage to continue health benefits in the coming months



i am thankful for the wonderful ladies and families i work with -- who have done nothing but support me through this



i am thankful for a job(s) that allow me choices and flexibility, so that i can be home with my girls



i am thankful for peaceful sleep each night




and i am thankful for a loving god and church family who keep me safe
