What a great concept. And so easy to use. I would have called it rhondaslist, though.

I am grateful for a phone call from my sister last night, reassuring me that they were not at the bottom of an ocean, had not had an inflight emergency, and had spent the afternoon and evening traipsing all over Washington DC, thoroughly worn out and ready for a good night’s sleep.

I am grateful for the warm feelings I have when thinking about my Dad experiencing the monuments and the history and the “wowza” of Washington for the first time.

I am grateful for an hour and a half phone call with my beautiful daughter last night. Oh, it is so wonderful.

I am grateful for a little chipmunk that didn’t completely panic but looked at me and begged me to let her out of the squirrel cage this morning. We had a nice conversation before I opened the door and she ran away to her little hole.

I am grateful for stale pancakes that made the birds very happy yesterday.

I am grateful to have seen a large woodpecker on the feeder last night, and grateful to have seen that yellow bird again this morning at the end of the street. I love the trees that attract interesting wildlife in the neighborhood for us to enjoy.

I am grateful that I am not tied to TV anymore. Watching Mother’s Day commercials is a difficult thing.

I am grateful for Lisa’s short emails that include pictures like this:

And I am grateful for floor mats.
