Trust in the LORD with all your heart 
and lean not on your own understanding
Proverbs 3:5

Evening  Sweet Peas,

So...... what's up with you

 these days??

Share a thing or two with me, 

 will ya???

I am happy to report my week has consisted of

 doing mostly nothing and loving every minute

 of it!!  lol

I have put away a few things, and I did go to

 the chiropractor yesterday and then shopping 

for my son's birthday and something for my

 hubby for our Anniversary on Monday.  I have

to say I am feeling better but I am still feeling

very tired and drained.  This old gray mare is

not what she used to be............she just does

not have the get up and go she used to.....lol

Anybody out there relate?????

Which leads me to my first thankful.......

#1

I am thankful

that I am learning that the lack of energy

 is not such a bad thing, because as I have 

slowed my pace,  it has been replaced by a

 more keen awareness and appreciation of 

the beauty God has placed all around me.

I have much more time to notice now, and

to drink in and appreciate those small

special gifts, that God gives us everyday,

and what blessings and happiness that

adds to my days.

#2

I am thankful

that I got to spend some time with a dear

friend this morning lingering over coffee

 and sweet potato pie. We don't often get

 time to spend together, and it is always

 a blessing and encouragment.

I am thankful

and just have to say it again........ for

all the ways that the Lord blessed the

reception, and the work of our hands.

It truly was a Wonderful Evening!

and so thankful that the video and all

 the pictures came out so beautifully.

#4

I am thankful

that I just got 2 very nice Thank You

cards in the mail from Jerry's family.

Very sweet , saying how much they enjoyed
the lovely evening.  Always nice to hear!

#5

I am thankful

for all the leftover food we had, cause it has kept me
 from having to cook all week.  Nice!!    lol

#6

I am thankful

that we get to celebrate Scott's birthday

and our Anniversary together as a family

 on Sunday.

Scott was our 7th Anniversary present,

 we actually brought him home from the

 hospital on our day!  

and hubby played "Watching Scotty Grow"

on the tape player, hence,  why I was so

emotional when He and I were dancing

at his wedding.........

Same Song,  lots of Memories.

Still can't believe both of our children

got married this year...............

#7

I am thankful

for my chiropractor,  as he keeps  me

straightened out!!  lol

Seriously tho, my fingers were number

than usual,  and I wasn't in any pain or 

anything,  (thankfully) just more numbness,

 but, after my adjustment I have more feeling 

in my fingers again.  A good thing!!  lol

#8

I am thankful

for Kohl's department store,  and how I

always find the nicest deals on clothing

for my guys there.

#9

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry are picking up Scott's

cake, he wants what they call a "Chocolate

 Killer Cake" from a restaurant. They are

also doing the salad,  two less things for me

 to do.... since this is my lazy week....lol

#10

I am thankful

for some beautiful red chargers that my  friend brought
  to me.  I have always wanted some,  but could never make
 up my mind what color to get. 
 So no worry about that anymore!!  lol

Does anyone else out there find yourself having a harder
 time making decision as you get older???  I used to be so 

decisive, but now I have the hardest time making up my 
mind at times.    Crazy!!  

#11

I am thankful

that hubby is gonna be able to take a week

 off at Christmas,  cause that has been a 

Christmas tradition with our family for years,

 Dad was always off same time as the kids when

 they were out of school.  We didn't know if he 

would be able to this year since he has the new

job,  but not a problem!  We all love that he

is home during that time!!

#12

I am thankful

for a lovely Dracena plant that Scott brought

 me last weekend,  it is very pretty and healthy.

 Need to find a pretty pot to match with what

 is on my porch already,  cause think that

 would be a great place to put it.

Well,  that is my list of blessings

 for this week...................

Hoping you are looking for yours

 as well, Cause they are there for

 all of us, 

we just gotta look for them.............

Love, Hugs,

and  Fall Floral Blessings,

Nellie
