Sorry. Obviously, I’ve missed a few days.
1. I’ve actually been out in the world living this week. I am most grateful for that.
2. Caring people. Everyone has been so nice to me.
3. Learning to trust someone and trust God’s plan for me.
4. My son. He worries about me, but I haven’t been so happy in a long time. I must be smiling too much.
5. Someone cooked a meal for me. That’s never happened before. It was wonderful.

4. Good books.
5. I got to live another day.

1. God – may I stay in your favor.

3. Because of #2, Herb has to be nice to me for a whole month. I am most grateful for that.

3. Forgetting the past…once I’ve learned the lessons contained within.
4. Family – They are my rock…especially Chip.
5. Friends – They are my other rock. I am thankful they care.
