Compilation Glog

Today I'm grateful for....

This glog is a compilation of gratitude for several days this past week.

Working last week and helping my mom out.

Seeing Lisa, Kyleigh and D.J. at mom's.

Billy bringing Kyleigh in to work and watching Lisa with her big sunshine smile showing off her daughter.

Going home early on Friday night.

Taylor starting cheer leading practice on Thursday, and her early morning practice on Saturday. Watching her do something she truly enjoys. She has started running at home and trying to build up her endurance, all on her own. Realizing how dedicated she can be when she wants to be.

Running into Eric and Nicole with their friends on Saturday night here in laf. Nicole is always so lovely and sweet. I admire Eric's bravery, they do kareoke where we were and Eric sang a couple of songs. Looking forward to tentative plans for a get together in the near future.

Finally knowing exactly why Mary has come back into my life. Her father has been sick with cancer for a long time, and on Saturday the family was told there is nothing more they can do for him, they were told he might be around for 72 more hours. Mary has been being judged by her family members for showing any kind of emotion, and she has the burden of making funeral arrangements for the family. I am grateful that I got to sit with Mary for several hours being a nonjudgmental ear, allowing her to vent, just letting her have that time for herself.
Grief has become a reoccurring thing in my life since Michael passed away, and I have told my story, listened to others, and been available and open for other grieving people. By being available and open to others I have been able to continue my own healing and am absolutely grateful for every emotion I've felt on my own, and when helping other people.

I am grateful for Ralph offering to take on the job of rebuilding my gate for my fence, as well as some other repairs that need done around the house. When I asked for his help he never hesitated and said he would be over on Monday.

The girls and I worked together and got a lot of much needed yard work done today. With plans to get to the front yard later this week.

Eating Mexican food with Kelsey.

Shopping with Taylor this afternoon. Her help rearranging my booth at the shop where I sell my art work.

I am very grateful that Tim and Tracie made it back from Minneapolis safe and sound last week. They were in Minneapolis during the bridge collapse, they were supposed to take that route home and at the last minute decided to take a more scenic route.

I'm grateful that at this very minute Dean and jones are on their fantastic journey home creating life long memories. yeah TERT!

Good things are happening to the people I love.

you my little burrito, you.
