This week … another mixed bag. My strongest supporter at my current job has left, my auntie Shirley had a stroke, my mother’s being run ragged by my aunt’s children, I had a stinking sinus infection, I was tired of it, and I’m just tired. But today’s reflection on the week reminded me that there were still blessings and things I can be grateful for. This week:
- I am grateful for the break in the humid, uncomfortable weather. It’s beginning to feel like Fall and I love it!
- I’m grateful that my aunt’s stroke has not left her paralyzed, unable to speak or cause her to lose any of her mental faculties. I thank God in the biggest way for that.
- I’m grateful that my Dr. was able to give me meds for my sinus infection. I’m beginning to feel better and my discomfort has been totally eliminated!
- I’m grateful for this object lesson: I put my basil in water (not dirt) and it sprouted flowers. It was a reminder that even in unfamiliar, abnormal circumstances, I can thrive if I make up my mind to.
- I was looking for butterfly decals for a D.I.Y project and found options that were $25.00 and up. Errrrrr no!!! Went to the Dollar store in my work neighbourhood and found some for .99c. Now that’s what I call a blessing!
- I was grateful for fall weather. Fall weather = comfort food for me. So it was on for my crock-pot and some chili was in order!!!
Hope you each had a great week and cheers for a wonderful upcoming week! 😀

Feel better soon xxx
Thank love. 😀 I’m getting there.
As always you keep reminding me to look through the negative straight to the positive. Forever hoping next week will be better for you then the last. -Nizzy
and p.s. although pretty, clip those flowers on the basil. I heard it diminishes the flavor because all the plant’s energy is devoted to producing flowers. One day I’m going to let one flower all the way so I can enjoy the view.
Thanks for the tip re the flowers. I’d never seen that happen before.
If i don’t look for the positive, I’ll cry …. alllllll the time!!! LOLOL! 😀
You had some major downs this week, but good for you still being able to find some positives. I pray for a speedy recovery for your aunt.
Blessings 🙂
Thank you so much for your prayers Kate! She’s doing so much better this week!
I agree with Hannah, you have an awesome attitude! I love sharing your ups and down with you. You’re really unique! Love you lots girl! 🙂
Thanks Asha! Life can be tough for all of us sometimes but I really do believe that our lives take the direction of our attitude.
I appreciate you and our friendship. Love you lots too! ♥
You positive attitude really is inspiring — I have to work so hard at it. And I have the same crock pot as you! 🙂
Don’t be fooled Hannah, I have to work hard at it too. Sometimes what I’m grateful for comes to me after I’ve had a meltdown! LOLOL!
Doing this project (52 weeks of blessings) really helps me to focus on what’s good.
Don’t you just love the design on that crock-pot! So pretty! 😀
