= a healthy on plan day - so grateful

= my 'other foot' feels better after over stretching it the other day (I know....)

= ice and heat for my pieces and parts

= my BIL's nephew came home from quadriplegic rehab, finally, after his accident in the ocean - that resulted in his paralysis. The press met him at the airplane. He told the reporters, "Being able to walk doesn't define a person." I always knew he was a special young man. I am grateful he has a good attitude.

= music videos - like mini musicals

= friends, family, 3fc, cell phone, internet, facebook

Today I am grateful for:

+ Sunshine & Blue Sky
+ A good nights rest
+ Quiet of home
+ Peace

I am thankful for mine and my families health.

I am thankful that everyone in my family still has a job in these tough times.

I am thankful for the cool weather that has finally descended upon West Texas!
