1. I’m grateful for an extra day this weekend to catch up on my soap making.
2. I’m grateful for my dad’s green thumb and that he shares the bounty of his garden with me.
3. I’m grateful my dad decided to do another round of chemo to keep one step ahead of his cancer.
4. I’m grateful for air conditioning. The first part of last week was brutally hot and humid.
5. I’m SO grateful I finally have permission from my son Steve and his Lisa to announce that I will soon be a grandmother! Lisa has the tiniest belly (see above) and I love seeing how happy the two of them are.
What are you grateful for this week?
Yours in Gratitude,
Angela

Lisa is so tiny, she looks like a model.
Your list reminded me of all the grateful things in my life.
1. I’m grateful we still have great weather
2. I’m grateful I’m healthy.
3. I met a neat lady today at a venue we were selling at that was incredible kind. She gave us fresh bay leaves she picked and shared a piece of her homemade apple pie.

September 11, 2015 at 10:00 amGreat list Michelle. I especially love the lady with the bay leaves and home made apple pie. Sometimes those simple things can really make your day. Thanks for sharing.
