Monday Morning Gratitude

That there really are a lot of second chances
That most people have a least one good thing to be said about them
That the sun is always shining--somewhere
That God's in his heaven
That death is not the end of the chapter
That we're not the lone fish in a tank
That we can have "ah ha" moments
That there is always, always hope
That I live where the snow eventually melts
That there really are silver linings to dark clouds.


Better late than never blessings!

A warm, delicious lunch with old friends and new
A good car to drive

A sweet husband who cleaned my house while I was gone
A mother who baked a cake and prepared a roast
Sunshine that helped keep me cheerful
A safe, good trip

Blessings!
