A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings

My dear blogging friend, Judy, over at A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings, hosts this meme every Wednesday. Simply list five things (or a prayer or any thoughts) for which you are truly thankful this week. Voicing my thanks helps put my life in perspective & realize that, no matter how bad things might be, there is still MUCH good surrounding me.

1) I'm thankful for the AWESOME, relaxing weekend I just had in Hocking Hills w/ my girlfriends. This was our sixth annual trip together. Out of the six of us who go, I am the only one who is not a grandmother! I've always felt like I have an older soul, so I feel so a home w/ them...not to mention all that I can learn.

2) I'm thankful that Casinodad managed quite well w/out me here this past weekend. He & the munchkins were happy & the house was fairly clean.

3) I'm thankful that The Archangel passed his First Communion meeting w/ our parish deacon yesterday afternoon. I can't believe he's going to be receiving Jesus' Body & Blood for the first time on May 15th.

4) I'm thankful I was able to find a great CD for the munchkins to listen to at bedtime. Their other CDs had been skipping. The Best of Robert & Robin Kochis has 15 songs total, including Hail Mary, Gentle Woman, Be Not Afraid, On Eagle's Wings, Regina Coeli, & an Ave Maria Medley. I LOVE this CD!

5) I'm thankful for HandyGramps! Today is his birthday...Happy Birthday, Dad! We love you very much!

I love to hear the experience of wisdom from older women. Praise for your weekend get-a-way. Looks like the munchkins are being well taken care of by mom and dad. Glad you had a great week!
