Gifts for Thanks


I'm always thankful for Rhondi, who reminds us to be thankful. She does a special post about this every Thursday. So today I'm thankful for these gifts:

1. The Gardener recovering, finally, from a painful dose of shingles.
2. A warm house in this very cold weather.
3. Feeling a little better after a flu bug.
4. My friend Susanna recovering so well from her knee replacement
5. My friend Lydia Grace who so graciously went and helped with my mom so I could stay home today.
6. Two unexpected "sick days at home" --- one to sleep, and today, maybe, I'll feel like reading.
7. A pot of hot soup.

And our pausing to give thanks, is a gift in itself to our heavenly Father, isn't it?

  3. So glad he's over the shingles. I've had that and it's awful. Hope you're feeling better soon, too.

    What gorgeous shopping bags.
    That photo is more about beauty than shopping!

  8. Oh, sweet thing...a bout of flu on top of the Gardener being sick. I'm so sorry.

    Sending you a hug and hoping this weekend is restful for the two of you. :)
