Quickie

Today I am flooded with gratefulness. I probably wont have time to name all that I am grateful for, but here is a start: (not in any order - just random.....)

• Family who loves me in spite of my weirdness
• So many kindnesses that people show me each day
• Jobs for every member of my family
• A God who cares about me
• A big red dented Suburban that is paid for!
• A smaller house with a smaller rent
• My 80 yr. old mother, who just flew in tonight and is resting peacefully in the next room.
• Chocolate
• People who are younger than me and remind me of how idealistic I was at one time!
• Old friends that I have been getting reacquainted with after 30 years!
• New friends that think I'm cool.... until they get to know me :)
• My daughter, who seems to like me.
• My son, who is so very thoughtful.
• My oldest son, who brightens my days and makes me giggle
• All of the pictures and videos I took when my kids were little
• My father, Andrew Slack, who re-wrote our family tree. We now have a proud and loving heritage!
• My sweet little Mommy, who always seemed happy to me.
• My Brother, Ronnie, who is rewriting the story of his grandchildren's lives - what a blessing for them.
• My sister, Cheri, who has shown me how to grab onto God and not let go.
• My baby sister, Pammy, who remains a very positive influence no matter what comes.
• My husband, John, who is the most gifted, creative, hilarious and loving person in the world..... plus he is a great cook!

I will make another list later, but I got tired and am going to bed.
