100 Days of Gratitude

I'm grateful for a beautiful sunny day to sit outside and visit with my mom. Looking at her today in the bright sunshine, she has aged so much since my dad passed away last July. That makes me sad.

Today I am grateful for canned food. I am getting over a cold and didn't feel like cooking lunch. I have the second half of a can of baked beans to eat for dinner, too.

never heard of baked beans on toast. Are the beans warmed or straight from the can? I have no appetite, couldn't think of anything appetizing forget that DD and DH were expecting a big dinner. When I asked for suggestions they just scowled at me. So, fooled them both and just made grilled cheese and tomato soup for myself. Thinking they could have cereal because I'm not cooking. 

Day 54: grateful I slept thru the night and most of the day. No energy to go pick up my Rx's, so grateful did it for me. Maybe the anti-b's will kick this sinus infection and return some energy to me.  Popsicles have been wonderful too

thanks, Cheryl! Will also have to check them out

Grateful for living 8 minutes from the hospital ......on my way to get my zoladex shot this morning . 

I think today I am grateful my cold is just an ordinary cold and doesn't appear to be turning into a major illness like last month. I think I am on the mend.

I'm grateful for leftover chicken. 

Day 55: grateful I had ingredients in the pantry and house to make a meal without having to go to the store

Thanks, Red!

Day 56 ( I think )

Grateful for my garage ....and that I don't have to scape the snow and frost off the windows in the morning . 

RedReading - I hear ya!  Having just finished a day long retreat for the organization I work for.  One day is plenty, 3 days save!

Grateful for this thread, even when I am tending toward  a funk - this reminds me I have so much to be grateful for and perks me up. 

I'm grateful for the love of my family.

Oh I am so far behind; 

I am grateful for all the info that you all gave me on taking care of the drain hole - so far so good, no infection or sloshing. 

I am grateful that I get to go somewhere warm coming up here soon - it will be a short trip but hopefully will be able to swim. 

I am grateful that there are little bits of the green shoots of snowdrops and crocuses poking their way through the still frozen ground - sure sign that Spring is in fact coming this year. 

I am grateful that I have a piece of cheesecake in the refrigerator because it is going to make the perfect pre-midnight snack. 

I think that catches me up - also, I was reading the posts about baked beans on toast. When I was a kid and a lot of the cousins were together (which meant 30 or so hungry children) one of my aunts would brown some ground beef along with some chopped onions and green pepper, mix it with baked beans and some ketchup and a little brown sugar and stick a big vat of it in the oven for a few hours - it was great on white bread with a little butter. Everybody from the youngest kids to the adults liked it. Could be made in a crock pot too, I'm sure. 

Curveball - I can't believe that you've been having to do your dishes in the garage - that is so much extra work when you are feeling fatigued anyway. Hope that you're back to a simpler set-up soon. 

I'm grateful that today the plumbers came and hooked up my kitchen sink. No more washing the dishes in an unheated garage!!
