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 The Archangel made his First Holy Communion this past Sunday. I was so pleased to see his reverence for the Eucharist & his enthusiasm to receive Jesus for the first time.

2) I'm thankful we did not have to take a trip to the ER on Monday when The Saint threw a geode at The Archangel's head. Thankfully I knew that head wounds have a tendency to bleed A LOT. Once we got it stopped, there was just a tiny spot on his head & no bump. He kept ice on it for a while & I kept checking his eyes. To be on the safe side, we did have our doctor look at it when The Archangel went in yesterday for his yearly checkup.

3) I'm thankful The Archangel is up to the 30th percentile in weight. The medicine he takes for his aggression increases his appetite, so he's gained close to 10 lbs. in the last few months.

4) I'm thankful I was able to have my Sat. shift covered at work so that I could go out of town for the memorial service for my Godmother's husband. It was a beautiful service & celebration of his life.

5) I'm thankful for Catholic Heritage Curricula. We get most of our school books through them & they have great service. I ordered books on Monday around lunchtime & received them just after lunch on Tuesday!
