Day #10 - I am grateful for Peace

Day #10 - I am grateful today for the soothing words that calm my aching heart and soul.

Day # 9 Grateful for Hubby's Love

Day # 9
I have nothing to say except that I am grateful for my husband and his love.

Day # 8 - I Scream, You Scream . . .

Ice cream is one of those yummy treats that I love year round.  Today, I am simply happy to be able to have a little bit of ice cream.

Yep, it's simple - but for Day #8 -

I am grateful for the simple pleasures - like ice cream, chocolate and a warm bagel.

Day #7 There are Breaks in the Clouds

I love this picture.  There are clearly a lot of clouds that have gathered, but there is a break in them and the light can be seen in the darkness of night.  

Day #7

I am grateful for the breaks in the clouds and the ability that I have to see them as well as the company that I have when in the darkest nights.  It’s never as hard when you aren’t alone.

Day #6 - I am Grateful for Faith

Today, I am grateful for faith.  Faith is a powerful thing.  When the days are dark and hard to manage, faith can get you through.  After all, tomorrow will come, in spite of today's challenges and faith is what tells us that it will.  Faith can inspire us to act, give us courage and strength when we are struggling and give us comfort when we are down.

For Day #6 -

Faith is a bluebird
You see from afar
It's for real
And as sure as the first evening star

You can't touch it
Or buy it or wrap it up tight
But it's there just the same
Making things turn out right
- Rufus - Walt Disney's The Rescuers

I am grateful for the days that faith has rescued me.

Day #5 No More Grave Shifts

This week, my hubby ended his stint with graveyard shifts.  We've gone through spurts, sometimes talking via skype or on his cell phone during his slow times, with much of the time spent with us on opposite sleep schedules.  This is problematic when your only form of meaningful conversation is phone.  One of us was always sleepy when we'd talk.

We've spent more than one phone call with one of us fading and finally dropping off to sleep.  This week, he goes to days only - well long twelve hour days of getting off at 10 pm, but we will be on the same sleep schedule.  I am very happy about this!

When I've gone to see him, I go to work with him (that will stop now) and at slow times, we watch a movie, play a game, surf the internet or just talk.  One of those nights, I was sneaking around the office around 3 am and began to play papparazzi.  We even perfected our wedding reception punch (for wedding #2) at 3 am one night.

So, for day #5 . . .

I am grateful for the time that I have spent with my hubby and that at 3 am I could play papparazzi!  At 3 am, anything is possible.

Day #4 Peyton Manning is more fun than Mayor Hancock

I have spent way too much time in airports over the last year or two.  Right before I became a frequent visitor to the airport, I worked doing mystery shops there.  This was something that I really enjoyed.  Pretty much right after that, we began this long distance courtship which developed into a long distance marriage. 

Today, on day #4

I am grateful for the technology that we have to travel, the low fares when we can find them, and I love that

Peyton Manning’s voice is on the train at DIA since is far more entertaining than Michael Hancock’s.
