Gratitude Sunday

Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, 
to be grateful.  A list of gratitudes.

This week I am grateful for:

1.  Being able to attend church today and to be taught by
wonderful teachers and to feel the Spirit.

2.  The sweet expressions of love my son sent his sister on
her birthday.

3.  My daughter.  Thirty-five years ago, Thursday, she joined
our family.  What a blessing she is and has been to all of us.

Happy 35th Birthday

4.  My son and DIL who live in New Zealand and their desire
to keep active and healthy.  They just completed their second
half marathon.  I'm so proud of them.

We did it!

5.  That I have been able to complete the history of my
craft business, "fun things."  I have been working on this
for over a year and now it is one more thing I can cross
off my "to do"list.

fun things catalog

This was one of the last catalogs we printed.  We sold
both retail and wholesale to every state, Canada, Puerto
Rico, and Japan.

I'm grateful for the many businesses who
represented us state side and in Japan, as well
as businesses and individuals who purchased
items from us through our catalog and magazine
advertisements.

6.  That the little bird that flew into my patio
window recovered after a few hours of sitting in a
dazed state and was able to fly away.  I was very
worried that he was injured and would die.

7.  I'm grateful for sunshine!  After the past few days
of dark cloudy, stormy skies, it is wonderful to
have had sunshine today.  I loved walking to and
from church and feeling the warmth of the sun on
my face.

8.  And, as always, I'm grateful for my life, health
and family.
