My Grateful Thoughts for this week


This week has tested everyone in the Eastern Tennessee area with 3" of snow and 1/4" of ice, kids staying home from schools and the finally week before Christmas.  Yet, with all these stressful things, there is always something to be grateful for.
  • I'm not all too happy with our heat pump - but at least we have heat and lots of love and quilts to keep us warm.
  • Spending "school off" days with my girls.
  • Knowing my husband is only a phone call away.
  • Knowing my son and his girlfriend in Philly will be here for Christmas.
  • Knowing I have all I need to live (and then some).  My wants come in their own time.

What a blessed life I truly live!

  2. We are all blessed and see that if we take the time to look. I am grateful that I don't live where there is snow...hurricanes are not that bad in this part of Louisiana and being hot is better than being cold. I too have all I need to live and my wants are provided. For example, quilt shop has fabric right now for $3 and $4 a yard (fantastic sale!) but I had no extra money. Voila, DH took me to casino and gave me $20 which somehow became $50 (I still don't understand that!). A want provided for! Wants do get taken care of in the most unusual ways if you believe especially this time of year. Happy holidays!
