    I am grateful for a handheld steamer. It has made wallpaper removal so much easier. We've finished the kitchen remodel so it's on to the dining room.

    Pooh...I have to confess, I'm a little jealous. I have college age sons and don't get the long hugs.

    It's sunny and warm. In fact it's even warmer than I thought it was—64 whole degrees Fahrenheit. Woohooo! Maybe my toes will finally thaw out. I thought they were numb because of back injury, but my back is so much better now I think they have just been frozen all winter. One more way I take after my dad, he had very poor circulation in his extremities. Thank heaven my fingers are not as bad as my toes!

    about the foam roller - is a swim noodle a good substitute?

    Today I am grateful for a really fun 'road trip' with some girlfriends; walking, talking, eating, shopping, and laughing were all on the agenda.

    3/12- I am grateful to be through the second anniversary of my mothers passing. I know they get easier as time goes on, but not quite yet.....

    Jazzy I'm so sorry and it's almost 30 years for me and not a day goes by when I don't think of my Mum.  No Maddy the foam roller is much sturdier and fatter, here's a picture I can't get it to go smaller, sorry.

    Wednesday - grateful the car salesman was willing to spend the time doing a tutorial on how to start my new car (yeah over the weekend) as it has keyless entry and start

    Thursday - just for the day and being here.  It is difficult to be grateful here today in New England , again 27 and snowing.  Really it is March!!!

    Be well

    I love history, so I am grateful that I got to substitute for a 7th grade American History teacher today. Very fun day talking about mountain men, the hardships of pioneers on the Oregon Trail etc. (very fun for me anyway, not sure if it was for the kids Happy).

    Ladies, I must apologize in advance for what you are about to see. I simply have no excuse for this inexplicable behaviour by a fellow Canadian. I can only assume that the cold weather has had an effect.

    Once again, I apologize.

    I know! I have a special education background, so often get called for the remedial & alternative classes. I love those kids too, but it is really fun to get to go in a 'regular' classroom & talk about a subject I just plain love.

    Grateful that I wrote a snippet of my memoir today.  Writing a complete memoir is a goal I have set for myself this year.  When you begin to write, more memories will surface for you.

    Grateful for my new washing machine which arrived bright and early this am.  I see the pile of clothes on the laundry room floor disappearing!

    Day 73

    Today I am grateful for many things. It just happens that way sometimes. 

    Last night 2 of my granddaughters came for a sleep over, we watched a couple of song and dance type movies together. This was excellent! It got better when my 2 daughters decided to stay for the first movie. All 5 of us on the bed together watching Pitch Perfect. I am now listening to two 11 year olds laughing over breakfast. I am grateful indeed.

    I love those family times!

    I am grateful because my sister and I, who have been playing 'phone tag' for a week now, finally got in a long, long chat. (1 hour & 33 minutes, according to my cellphone!)

    I am grateful for being alone in the house for 3 hours.  Daughter and grandsons are at a friend's house and DH at work…..

    Mapgirl, I find alone time as important as family time. Good for you!

    Yes, Chrissy, can you believe it? Usually Canadians are much more controlled. I am just so aghast at this outburst of emotion!

    Ruth, I love those times too.

    Pooh- very similar to my quote about people by Maya Angelou which is "see things and people as they are, not as you wish them to be." I am done with denial!

    mapgirl, I can relate. Grateful for a trip to Lowes this afternoon, all alone, windows down, singing with the radio and doing a little car dancing. Life is Good!
