The Hair Shop

Carly is my hairdresser at The Hair Shop. She takes really good care of me. Today I am grateful for Carly and people everywhere who do their jobs with joy and love. By doing one's job with joy and love one is blessing and serving others. Anyone in any job has the ability to bless and serve others simply by doing their job with joy and love. Thank you, Carly!

Barnes and Noble

I love books! I love book stores! I can spend hours in a book store. I am grateful for the Barnes and Noble I visit.

Pedicures

Yesterday I was exhausted both physically and mentally. I had a gift card for a pedicure. I went. Aaa. Thank You, God, for people who bless others by caring for their feet. I don't think I could do that job, but I sure am grateful for people who do. Thank You, God, for my wonderful kids who blessed me with the gift card. Thank You, God, for one hour of relaxation. And for pretty feet.

My Siblings

I have been blessed with four caring wonderful siblings. I was also blessed with a loving step-sister. Thank You, God, for Ann, Helen, Jim and Dodie.

Bridal Showers

Yesterday, I attended the bridal shower of my daughter Meredith's best friend Megan. Meredith is the maid of honor. I was so proud of Meredith. Her participation in this shower overwhelmed me with momma pride.

It has been a while since I attended a bridal shower. I had forgotten how nice they can be. This one was beautiful. The presence of joy and love was deeply felt.

I noticed that there were three age groups present: the kids, the moms and the grandmothers. I am so blessed and grateful to be in the mom group. Thank You, God, for blessing me with the best gift in the whole world, CHILDREN!

All Those Who Choose To Protect Others

God, thank You for everyone who chooses to protect others. Thank You that there are more who choose to protect than choose to hurt. Thank You for every person who has contributed to my quality of life by choosing to be a protector.

Firemen

Today I am thankful for firemen because they selflessly choose to be the helpers in this world.
