My Gratitude/Happiness List (March 10, 2014)
I am again linking up with
Laurel Regan’s Gratitude List
☺ One of my older blog posts
about my mother being featured in Woven
Tale Press (many thanks to Sandra Tyler!)
☺ Fresh bread from our
neighborhood bakery.
☺ Another “date night” with my husband: dinner, seeing Nebraska, and having dessert out
afterward.
☺ Being involved in the prayer
shawl ministry at church.
☺ That a good friend’s husband,
who had a stroke just before Christmas, is now again able to get out and take
his morning walk for coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts.
☺ Having had a spurt of energy
yesterday and cleaning my bathroom and kitchen floor!
☺ Reading the latest Writers Ask issue and feeling the itch
to write again.
☺ That my husband is taking care
of getting all our tax information together for the accountant.
☺ A nice quiet Sunday evening
spent with my husband, having leftover vegetable stew (yum!) working on two
crossword puzzles, reading the paper, and listening to the Billboard Top 100
from 1976 (not such a good year, though—remember “Disco Duck”?), with our dog
curled up on the couch.
☺ Going to the next-to-last Brown
University basketball home game.
☺ An unexpected Facebook
conversation with a cousin beginning with his posting a great old song,
“Darkness, Darkness” by the Youngbloods, touching on theology and philosophy,
then to remembering our lost family members.
☺ Daylight Savings Time!
We just watched Nebraska about a week ago and loved it. And....it brought on really good conversation. :) Fresh baked bread anywhere, anytime, any day. YUM! Another list that made me smile.
ReplyDeleteWe loved it, too--so funny and moving at the same time. Great performances. And fresh bread is always a treat! As always, I so appreciate your comments, Amy.
DeleteWonderfully inspirational list! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurel--for the comment and the inspiration to start doing this!
DeleteLove your list but I had to laugh at Disco Duck. I actually met Rick Dees when he was a DJ in Memphis at WHBQ:)
ReplyDeleteFunny, Talya! Music probably would have been a little better if he'd stayed there, but seems a lot people liked the song! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteMmmm...fresh baked bread. Just the thought makes me smile. I'm glad things are going so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer, and thanks for reading!
DeleteI love Daylight Savings time! And warm bread! :)
ReplyDeleteI know, isn't it the most heavenly smell? Especially with butter melting on it... Thanks for stopping by, Lori!
