Today I am grateful...

-it's not quite so cold today and the inside of my nose didn't freeze up when I stepped outside.

-it's Sunday and I'm off work so I have time to cook for today and prep for the week.

-that I found beautiful gold table linens clearanced at k-mart in the Christmas stuff that will be fabulous for our youngest daughter's graduation party. 12 tableclothes and a dozen matching napkins to line breadbaskets, etc. with for under $30!

-that my husband will be starting a new job in a week or two. Praise God!

-that my first week back on track was successful and I am motivated to continue.

Nice thread, lovely idea.

1. That my Mum is almost finished her radiotherapy and fingers toes and everything crossed that this will be the last of her ordeal with bc.
2. For my man who is so supportive of whatever decisions I make in life.
3. For this website!
4. That I completely emptied out my house last week. The walls were groaning under the amount of junk in the presses and drawers and now the place can breathe and it's a stress free zone. This was not an easy job
5. For oatmeal! It keeps me full for hours and it's so comforting in this cold weather.
