Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.

1. Jin4s something so forth june scavenger hunt. When I first saw the list, it looked so formidible. So far, it has turned out rather fun and easy. Everyone should join!

2. Experiencing the wonder of gardening. Every year it is like a new experience to me.

3. Summer foods. There is so much variety.

4. Warm days followed by cool nights. I know this won’t last for long.

5. Having a pleasant conversation on the phone with my daughter. Always grateful when we don’t end up arguing.

1. The opportunity to take our granddaughter to the zoo.

2. The forethought to bring snacks and a waterbottle with us.

3. Remembering to bring sunscreen and using it.

4. Finding out that 7 of our 8 tomato plants already have little green tomatoes.

5. It started out grey yesterday but turned out sunny as if ordered for our trip to the zoo.

1. My first day of my vacation. No specific travel plans. Just planning to take it easy.

2. Finding several dvds at a yard sale. Now if I find the time to watch them.

3. Finding out my insurance on my cell phone is in force as long as I own my phone. It keeps turning on and off by itself and I may have to replace it.

4. Finally getting our windows measured for new blinds.

5. Getting the fridge cleaned out. It is amazing how empty it looks.

1. Working the extra hours during my 3 day work week and getting to add 2 paid days off. I’ll see the results in next week’s paycheck.

2. Having a hoodie thrown in my car. I needed it yesterday afternoon when I got off work. It was much cooler then I anticipated.

3. Having several episodes of Dinosaur train recorded on our DVR for my granddaughter. That leaves my laptop free for other things (my stuff).

4. Finding my ring which I had misplaced. It was on the shelf above the kitchen sink. I must have taken it off while doing dishes.

5. Human interest stories on the news.

1. Needed rain for the gardens and farmers’ crops.

2. Continuing lower humidity once the storm fronts passed and sunshine resumed.

3. Hump day on a three day work week. Only one more day (Thursday) and I’m off work for the next ten days.

4. Microwaveable entre’s.

5. Watching a full episode of Criminal Minds without falling asleep.

1. Getting up and going to work was easier then I thought after 3 days off

2. A short work week for me.

3. Perfect weather for this time of year.

4. A great evening listening to the birds and bugs and a porch to spend it on.

5. Greek yogurt and honey.

1. Generous neighbors.

2. Granddaughter Paige has definitely found a new friend in our neighborhood.

3. Resting up after all that walking we did on Sunday.

4. Good breezes coming through the windows making it easier to resist turning on the AC.

5. An ice cold beer.

1. Spontenaity (We just up and decided at a moment’s notice to take our granddaughter to Kansas City to see the Sea Life Exhibit which opened this Spring at Crown Center.)

2. Having the money to take a day trip (gas/entertainment/ eat out) spontaneously.

3. Knowing I wasn’t going to go into work this morning after doing a lot of walking yesterday.

4. Having my cell phone with me when my battery on my digital camera crapped out on our trip. I couldn’t use flash in the exhibit anyway so I don’t know if the pics would have been better or not with my camera.

5. Watching the grandkid absorb all the exhibit like a sponge. Even though it isn’t quite as spectacular as the zoo, it will have a lasting impact.

❤ A great afternoon for a roadtrip!

❤ Remembering to bring my camera with me.

❤ Remembering to bring enough flowers for everyone’s graves for decorating and finding all the graves as well. It’s nice how they stay where they burried them.

❤ Ice cream on a hot day.

❤ Building good memories with my granddaughter.

1. Upcoming 3 days off because of the Memorial Day holiday.
2. Watching my granddaughter playing dress up. Brings back memories of her mommy when she was little.
3. An unexpected notice in the mail. We may have some unclaimed property someplace. The website and information/phone number are legit.
4. Checked my weight today and lost another pound after worrying I might have gained some.
5. Rain for our garden last night.
