After that I watched the boys for Trisha while she shopped (although she took Caden.) I went to get my wig. I followed the GPS and found it took me about 15 miles out of the way to the wrong location (there must be someone who conditions wigs living in Daybreak) Grrr... 2 detours today, my double battery is dying, I didn't rest my foot like I should have and the house is a mess and dinner isn't started. sigh...

Tender Mercy. Yesterday I went to visit my neighbor, Bonnie Stephens. She told me that Valentines Day was her best day ever. She lost her husband a few years ago so each of her adult children determined that they would help fill in the gap. They either wished her a Happy Valentines Day or visited her or sent flowers. One daughter even paid to have a quartet come to her home and sing "Let me call you Sweetheart!" What joy! This brought tears to her eyes and she has been glowing ever since! For those of you who are musically inclined.. this is a perfect way to make someone's day!!
You wouldn't believe what just happened to Cindy and I. It is Cindy's birthday and we went out to breakfast. A kind gentleman across the way noticed us and paid for our whole breakfast! Wow what a way to start the day!
I am grateful for Joseph's dinners, for my hammock and the weather to enjoy it, for sweet cards, for calls with dear friends, for the way Facebook allows me to "catch up" on the life of a friend, for my dog Divit and the way she comes up to me and wants a pet, for pictures of past memories that I would otherwise forget and for Amazon because it sure saves me on errands and helps me to help others as well. Thanks Heavenly Father.
I am thankful that it is Althea's birthday today. She was my sister-in-law, my friend, my confidant. I'm grateful for the many talks we had, for the way she understood me, for the live roses that she gave me at mothers day (still with us), for her wisdom and advice, for the way she danced with our kids and grandkids, for her generosity and for the chance to have a part in her life before she passed away. We love you and miss you Althea!
I am thankful for fluffy clouds, for a store nearby when I forgot an ingredient to a recipe, for texting, for the chance to pull over and nap when I get too tired, for Tiarra's sweet smile and "Thank you Grandma", for a dear daughter who called to share an answer to her prayer (thankf Father), for memories in past journals, for the clock who can be my friend, for the chance to learn at a women's conference, for how fun it is to lick the bowl and for a great handy man who comes to fix things. WE are so very blessed. Thanks Father. (and for ginger ale when my tummy needs attention)
I am grateful for Netflix while grandma takes a nap, for slippers, for the chance to go back to bed when I wake up too early in the morning, for trishas advice about shipping, for the chance to pray for each one of our children and for my Heavenly Father who listens to my worries and texting to sit for peace and understanding
I am thankful for hot baths, for Trisha's generous household help gift, for the sounds of Enya, for EFT, for speaking opportunities, for sweet friends, for Cannon's emails and his testimony, for new attitudes generated from accepting the way things are and the unexpected snow.
