Hey everyone. Why do I hear crickets? I know I know I have been gone too long but now I am back so I hope to regain some of my faithful followers. A lot has happened in the past weeks and months and a lot of it was bad. But instead of focusing on the bad things I will look at the bright side. In the past week, my boat broke down again and I had a flat tire on my car. The good news is we were able to make it back to the boat landing without having to paddle and the tire went flat while the car was parked at home and not while driving down the highway. So I am thankful for both of those things. I am also very thankful for all the rain that we got over the past few days. I think we got over 6 inches and lots more in some other areas. It is so nice not to have dust rise up as I walk across the lawn. Of course this means someone will have to mow the grass this week but it is worth it. What I am saying is even though I have had tons of troubles over the past few months, things could always h...

For the first time in a long time I don't have to dig deep to do this post. So many positive things are starting to happen for me now that I will have to chose which ones to post. Funny thing though I almost forgot to do this. I woke up this morning thinking; Oh no, it's Thursday and I haven't even given it a thought. Then I remembered that I have been thankful for so long(even through the hard times)that I don't even realize that I am thankful. It's like they say; If you do something long enough it becomes easier and you don't even have to think about it. The kids are back in school around Charleston. My son started yesterday and although it is still too soon to tell, I have a feeling that he will do good this year. I am thankful for that. My older son just enrolled in College. This week we found out that he got the SC Life scholarship. That is a big financial gain for us and I am thankful for that. Yes we might actually get a college gradgiate (spelled incorre...

It's spring and it's Thursday so it is time again to be thankful. I could focus on the fact that I am suffering from bad allergies but I will instead of be thankful for the good things in life. I am thankful for the warm weather we are having. I have my garden planted and everything is coming up. It won't be long and we will be eating fresh veggies. I am thankful for a great day at the Market. We had an outstanding day last Saturday which we really needed. I am praying the good fortune continues. I am again thankful for Patients. I think my patients is growing stronger. A lot of people have short fuses these days but I have managed to keep mine unlit. I take a few moments, and think about what I am about to say or do and I usually decide I will be the bigger person. I thank God for giving me strength in this area. I am thankful that I have the determination to get back in shape. It's 345 am. I only got 4 hours sleep last night. I am running on adrenalin but I am heading...

I am thinking about leading the Thankful Thursday group. I have a lot to do to get to that point where I get Mr. Linky up and running and I can figure out the ins and outs of this all but I am heading in that direction. Let me know what you think? All is well here on the Island. Work has been really hectic and so have a lot of other things but I am managing. Last night we were out in the front yard and a bald eagle flew right over our heads. He circled for a while as if he was looking for something then flew off. Today we found a little bluebird in our front yard that had been injured. We have him in a shoe box and are hoping he makes it until the morning. Keep thinking positive and let me know what you think about the Thankful Thursday. No matter what I will be posting my list on Thursday. I am trying out Mr. Linky. No need to sign up for this one unless you want to give it a try. If you want to though you can do it. I am working on the other parts or the post. If you are still readin...
