Sparrow,(((((((♥)))))) for you, too.  Your lawnmower man sounds like
a real angel.  May I borrow him?  We had a huge amount to go out last week and the yards are full again.
Jude, congratulations.  What an exercise in perseverance.
Vicky, it is good to see your post again.  Welcome back.

Tonight I am grateful for this "garbage" that is trying to find a permanent home in me.  It reminds me of all those days I wasn't grateful for a simple thing like not coughing for an entire day, not feeling totally exhausted, and all those other "little" things that I so obviously took for granted.  I am grateful for all those warm cups of herbal tea,that somehow calm things down; for the abiity to cough; breath, move, see, taste, smell; for all those little cells that slowly, quietly continue their work of attempting to be rid of this "stuff".  I am grateful for finding "pan" glue so that Christmas prep work can continue; for the beginning of the Thanksgiving boxes that need to be sent out; for the time to tuck it back in bed for a bit today, for the bed to
tuck into, another day of life in which to be in the beauty and wonder of creation;
for the simple thing of peace and security of my neighborhood which for so many would be an unbelievable miracle.  I pray for all those who are not safe tonight either because of war or violence, or any threats to their personal well being. 
May there truly be peace on earth and may it begin with each one of us.

Blessings on this gift of a new week of each of our lives.  May we each "spend" it well.
hugs and prayers,
Betty
 

Yesterday is gone forever.Tomorrow may not come. Live Fully each moment today. Look for Good Things that Happen to you Every Day.

Ah me . . .
Betty dear,
my relationship with the lawnmower man
has been a bit rocky . . .
I think perhaps he did such a good job
as a way of making amends . . .
(I am so grateful now,
that I held my temper!)
 
Your illness has lasted some time . . .
it sounds like more than just a cold
or even the flu.
Have you been to the doctor?
Prayers for improved health, my dear
with love . . .

My Dearest Isabella,

Seeing the picture you chose to post with your gratitude for this day brings a real sense of joy to my me.
Dear One, I am so very grateful for all that I have learned from you and that in some small way, I could
let the Holy One use me to show you how special you are and how loved you are.  PLEASE, when and
if the dark days come, ALWAYS remember this day and those who love you and know what a wonderful
gift you are to this world.  It truly brings joy to my heart to know that this was such a very special day for you.

Hugs and prayers,
Betty
