Monday Blessings

• a ride to work this morning. It's always nice to sit back when I don't have to do the driving.
• being acknowledged at the morning meeting about my return back in the field since I was gone most all last week. Knowing that my co-workers missed me.
• having my work complimented.
• spending an enjoyable lunch time with my regular lunch buddies.
• having Joe's health care nurse call me after visiting him and validating that my concerns have been and are real.
• two long conversations with my best Wyoming friend/sister.
• having a friend to have girl talk with at work.
• spending some alone time at Sam's after work.
• eating a great tasting rotisserie chicken and potato salad for dinner.
• pre-moving into my new office in the field.
• talking to my dad on the phone today. (In person would have been much better).
• enjoying an absolutely beautiful day and watching the sun come up.
• grateful my weekend sickness finally left my body!
• coming home to the man I love.

When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep? ~George Canning

I'm grateful today for:

• Joe came home from the hospital.
• the nurses who cared for him.
• the dialysis that allows his life to be of better quality and less stresson his kidneys.
• co-workers from the oilfield who saw my car in the parking lot while I was working in the town office and who came in to check on me.
• the good night's sleep I had without waking up worried.
• my good friend who understands what I'm going through when others don't.

And, I'll be very grateful when Joe is tucked in bed beside me tonight.
