For homecomings. Driving up today to move our favorite cast member back to the 305, now that she’s officially completed her second tour as a Disney College Intern. It’s been a long nine months for us here. I feel like I just gave birth again!  But, this girl had a dream she had to see about…so she went, she saw,…

Thankful for the resources He provides and the persons He connects us with to aid and improve our circumstances. The Lord is merciful. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. -Hebrews 4:16  

For generosity. Tomorrow marks a year that my book signing took place. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of. So much fun, accompanied by lots of family and great friends who were there to support this book’s goal – one without a deadline – as its purpose is…

For our conscience. That inner voice we act upon – sometimes reluctantly. Like when it says to be nice but we’d rather kick butt, or to be true but we prefer fake to please all, or to stay involved but we wish to detach. How annoying, that voice!  I call mine Pita (Pain in the Ass)….

Today I’m thankful for what I DON’T have – I don’t have a lousy job. I don’t have to beg for food. I don’t have rifts with anyone I know. I don’t have to wish or hope to be loved.  What don’t you have that you are thankful for?  “If you haven’t all the things…

Thankful for those decades-old friendships. Those friends I’ve known for most of my life. The ones who saw me with acne on my face; the ones who knew me before I was a wife and a mother. They who remain ever-present and they with whom, no matter how much time passes between us spending time…

To say that I’m utterly grateful for my health is an understatement.  Wishing all of you much good health. “Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayer and worn with thanks.” ~Thomas Goodwin  

Thankful for the help of my co-worker who’s been holding down the fort while I’ve been away recouping. #Mildredgreatestcoworkerever.  “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” – Charles Dickens  

When you’re sick, there is nothing better than having the support and prayers of family and friends.  I do.  And for that, I am thankful.  🙂 What are you thankful for today, friends? “Life is a roller-coaster. Try to eat a light lunch.” – David Schmaltz
