I am thankful today for blog friend Michelle, who reminds us every Thursday to stop a moment and appreciate something good in our lives. Often I am so busy I don't take the time to say, yes, I am fortunate, or yes, this good thing happened.
So today Larry had his twice yearly appointment with his doctor, and it was mostly good news. He's lost 10 pounds, blood pressure is amazing, blood sugar and other numbers all good.
Then we stopped for lunch at Shari's and met up with several friends there, one who just won a seat on the Ripley City Council. A former teacher, she is a bright, intelligent lady and will be a good council member. Shari's saved boxes for us to use as mulch in the garden, and our friend Glenn has a load of grass clippings for us too, which we will pick up this evening.
Right now we are on the way to Ohio for the auction pickup. I was lucky enough to win a few quilts, an old iron bed, abd several other things, all for reasonable prices.
So all good things, and I am grateful for them all. Thank you, Michelle, for the weekly reminder!
GS, thank you for linking up today! So good to find you here and glad that Larry had a good checkup. I hope to see you back again soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat news that Larry is doing well. Any hints how to help a spouse lose weight?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you found some great pieces for your booths. I hope your trip to Ohio went well.
We do need to focus on good things
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Larry had a good checkup. Congrats to your friend on her seat on the city council.
ReplyDeleteMany things for which to be thankful. What a blessing.
ReplyDeleteIt’s getting pretty green here, but we’re still in that delightful stage where the leaves are still growing into their fullness. I think we have a few more days until the transition is complete.
ReplyDeleteAlways a good reminder, sometimes we get too busy to stop and smell the roses.
ReplyDeleteI often get caught up in the details of every day and forget to see all the good happening around me. I think we all need to be reminded to do that.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good week and day -- and especially a good appointment for Larry! Safe travels! (Show your wares!)
ReplyDeleteHappy news about your friend who won a city council seat and about Larry's good check up.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reminder. With so much negative swirling around us it is easy to forget this.
ReplyDeleteIt's finally greening up here, too. I'm thankful for the 2 inches of rain we got yesterday and it was a steady rain, not a downpour. Going out now to mow the lawn.
ReplyDeleteTo all the good things in our lives!
ReplyDeletethe spring green is happening here in S Ontario too, another thing to be grateful for.
ReplyDelete...can you put your vehicle on auto-pilot to Ohio?
ReplyDeleteWe should all be grateful for what we have. I tell myself that 'every day you wake up alive is a good day'!
