8.29.11

1. Thankful for bright, clear blue skies with white fluffy clouds. Just look up and appreciate!

2. Glad that I live so close to the Ohio River. Today took the dogs on their walk along the flood wall and riverbank. Wore us out, but they seem to enjoy the change of pace.

Sunday 8.28.11

1. Glad to see the movie The Help with a friend, Cathy. The book was so good, the movie just as good. The characters were so interesting.

2. Enjoyed the sound of the crickets and the river on this cool summer evening. Until the crickets got really loud, like horror movie loud. Time to go in.

Today's gratitude

1. Really enjoyed not feeling like I had to do everything in the world today. For ex., thought my to do list had to include going to the bank to take care of mom's funds, but then I realized I could do that at lunchtime or after work next week. Nice not to feel so rushed on the weekends and not so stressed out because of commuting, etc. Even laid in the hammock for awhile this afternoon.

2. Helped Aunt Carolyn finally get her wireless, laptop, printer and Roku player working today. And delivered her new cell phone to her. She was so pleased! She's really excited to have a cell phone. I don't think she quite realizes that it's only $10-$15 a month. She was worried she'd get addicted to it and talk too much. I told her to go ahead, one charge talk all you want. It felt good to finally get her all set at her new place. Glad I could help her out.

PS-30 minute yoga with weights workout. One more twenty minute session to go this week and I think I can definitely do that.

What I'm Thankful For

8.26.11

1. This morning, I got up early enough to take the dogs for a walk before I left for work. It was a very pleasant, cool morning. Starting out, it was dark but got to watch the sun gradually come up. Thankful that with this new job I have time in the morning to do this!

2. Oh, my goodness. I am glad to leave one job with two good friends and immediately have three good people to work with! They are fantastic and have made me feel so welcome. I couldn't have asked for a better transition between jobs. Very thankful for that! We had a good laugh this aft. about the Panera bread thing. I took a chance that they would find my text message and photo funny. They did and well it seemed to cement a good beginning.
