D'NALI

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!!!
