I am grateful for a happy sunny day to go home this evening and take a walk with Natia before diving into major house cleaning in preparation for weekend company.

I am grateful for a Dad who has rescued not only me, but Natia, this week by going to the house in the middle of the day to let her out, give her some attention, and take her to the mailbox for the exercise and fresh air.

I am grateful for pictures of the sweetest little girl…

I am grateful for an almost empty refrigerator so I don’t snack all night long in my stress.

I am grateful for funny radio hosts while I work.

I am grateful for the gift from God of a beautiful pink sky this morning on my way to work.

I am grateful for a good-looking bracket, at least for one day.

And I am grateful that I don’t have to eat just salad. That would make me cry.
