Saturday November 9, 2013.....

    What a great day.  Beautiful warm sunshine and blue skies.   I slept in, made coffee, checked out my face book, did laundry, dishes, took my son to work, raked my yard, cleaned my house, read in my book, made a fall wreath for my front door, made dinner, cleaned the garbage out of my car,  picked my son up, caught up with my show on Netflix and I still have tomorrow left before the new week begins.
     I am antsy for Tuesday court will not be fun I'm sure of it, but I'm leaving it in God's hands and whatever happens, is what is supposed to happen so I am trying not to stress out to much. 
     I have smiled a lot today.  I was smiling when I woke to sun and blue skies, I was smiling when I was raking (because I love raking the crunchy fall leaves up), I was smiling when my house was cleaner, laughing out right while I watched my show, smiled while making my wreath and was smiling almost to tears at how beautiful the sunset was tonight.  It was like a sunset ocean in the sky.  The clouds looked like ocean waves all in pink and orange with a blue sky background.  The most beautiful thing I have ever seen this far in my life. I am thankful I was able to see it.
    Thankful I got so much done today and didn't sit around moping and being sad and depressed.   I am thankful I got to start my Christmas shopping yesterday with my sister.   I am thankful as always for my wonderful kids and family and friends.
     I am thankful for the warm sun on my face and for having a beautiful warm weekend even those are gonna be few all too soon.  I am thankful I had food to feed my kids and a warm dry place for them to sleep.
     I am thankful I have a credit card I can use to get my car fixed tomorrow and hopefully it won't be to awfully much.   I am thankful it hasn't broken down yet even though it takes a lot of punishment from me.  
     The more thankful I become, the more aware of the little things I am.  I find each day's trials to be a little less stressful and know in my heart that whatever tomorrow brings positivity will only make everything better.   One day at a time....
