GIVE THANKS:

• Snowday = sleeping in
• Cold day = sunshine
• Working furnace and hot water heater = heat and hot showers
• Isaiah kept me laughing all day
• Dad got to get out, despite the cold weather, and got his new glasses ( thanks Gary for taking him)
• Midnight doesn’t care if it’s cold outside and has learned how to the throw the ball and catch it…by herself
• Steak -n- Shake has happy hour between 2 – 5 p.m. and I didn’t get the full size shake but the kids size…just the right size for me.
• I am thankful for Dan because he puts up with me when I drive differently than he would
• Eli is writing a paper and he gave me a sneak peek and it’s really good…my kid who didn’t like to write is a pretty good writer after all.  ( I knew he could do it)
• I am thankful that this week was a new beginning for me, a new start and I am making new and better decisions.
• I was very encouraged by a lot of people this week
• God is showing me where I need to tweak my attitude, recognize trigger foods and situations that set me up to fail either in my diet or my dialogue.
• I have decided to count my blessings on very normal, ordinary days and recognize each day is a gift.
