Better late than never...

I'm just now getting on board with this blog - I haven't even read it in over a month, so I just realized that I'm supposed to say something..... sorry. First of all, I agree with Tiffany that it seems awkward to make such a list, especially since I do feel like "pond scum" if I don't list all the obvious things. So, in no particular order:

I am thankful for:

Modern medicine and surgical techniques - I think you all understand this one
Well-trained transplant surgeons and other personnel - ditto
Children and sons-in-law - you all rock!
Grandchildren - the brightest and best in the world, of course
Blogs!! - I check all of yours daily just to feel connected
The Internet in general - Google in specific
My abilities and talents and a reasonable amount of intelligence (no rebuttals allowed)
Airplanes and the ability to visit despite the distance
MLB and the Red Sox - intense but wonderful
College football and the NFL - lots of fun and enjoyment
My calling to teach - what I love doing more than anything else
Romance novels (haha - thought you'd like this one - Christian romance novels, that is)
WeightWatchers - yes! 29 pounds and counting!
Christmas trees and lights, but not Christmas cookies... (see above)
Steroid shots (couldn't do what I do without them)
Arthritis meds (ditto)
Comfort and safety in today's troubled world
My personal knowledge of the restored gospel
God's love for us
Christ's atonement
A wonderful husband who constantly tries to be and do better
Repentance - for all of us

I could go on and on, but I guess that will do it for today!
Love you all!
