I’m so grateful for my life! Thank you God for teaching me how to be better every day.

It’s a gray day, dreary to the eyes. Cold. Damp. And it’s been that way for a while here in St. Louis.

And yet, I smile.

God is good. I am thankful.

I have an awesome husband that still likes me (and loves me), even when I’ve been an emotional roller-coaster this year.

I have a warm home to go to at the end of the day.

I know Jesus as my friend and Lord.

I have more things that I want to do than time to do them in. I am never bored.

I like myself…most of the time.

I can listen to my iPod at work (and I own an iPod as part of my iPhone).

God gave me a love for words.

I know a lot of cool people.

I honestly don’t need anything for Christmas.

God has a plan for my life.

I’ve caught my breath… and I’m coming back to writing on my Web site again. Sorry for the delay.

I had started a “Thankful” journal, and I have a big one to add to my list today.

My company is moving to a new office building this week, and I was supposed to be off one day due to the move. However, because of some inspection issues, I am going to get off two days this week. This is an unexpected and wonderful blessing! I’m grateful for it!

Did I mention this was paid time off? I guess this makes up for all those snow days when I’d watch the school closings anxiously on TV, hoping that we would get the day off from school, only to find out that we had to go to school anyway…
