Ok, so I'm going to learn how to blog. You may not find out much about me personally unless you already know me, and that's fine. But you'll find out about what's inside either way, I think.
So, be patient as I learn how to do this. I have read other's blogs and have enjoyed them, sometimes without them know it. It has taught me how to pray for some, and how to support others. Perhaps the same will be true as you read mine.
Thanksgiving--let me start with that. As I cleaned out the gutters for the first time since fall 2006, I was thankful that I have a house. Today, I am thankful I didn't fall off said house as my husband was a bit nervous. I figured my stability was better, and hey, he had the chance 2 years ago, so it was my turn. And, if I did, I most likely would have survived since the back would have put me on the deck that falls away from the house. Below that is bushes, which I think would be sticky, but softer than the ground to land in. Today, I'm also grateful that I have muscles, and realize how much I need to use them in stretching since they have told me they exist in places I forgot about.
I have given thanks for my cats, even though I didn't want them (well not all 5 of them) 6 months ago, but they seem to have adjusted to our family (or is it that we have adjusted to their family since it's mom and her 4 of 6 kittens, the other 2 being given away to a farm home). They seem to know that if you feed them at 6 AM something is wrong. However, at 8, their cool and waiting. We even invested in a dog house for them, and are looking for straw so they can stay warmer. Towels aren't the same. Now to catch the last 2 and get them fixed.....
What else...I'm grateful that I have friends who are not fair weather only. We've developed some close friends who will tell us the truth in love when we need it, and support us as well. How anybody can go through life as a hermit is beyond either one of us. Reaching out and helping others also has helped us since we've moved here 2 years ago.
Well, it's late and I better get ready for work. Yes, even on a Friday night since I was the dumb one who volunteered to work 3 Saturday AMs in a row. Guess the money is good at Christmas, but I miss the sleeping in!
