This morning when I got up the sun was shining and as I raised all my blinds it looked like a beautiful day. The first thing I do every morning is raise my blinds. I always have. I know some people that leave there blinds closed all the time but that is not for me. I am a lot happier if the sun is shining thru my windows.
I got my sprite that I have for breakfast since I don't drink coffee and sat down and was thinking about all that I got to be thankful for. Thankful that to be 69 I am pretty healthy. I know a lot of people my age take a handful of pills or can't walk alone. I walk fine except when my flip flops give me a little trouble in the summer. Doctor says not enough support for the ankle. I wear them anyway.
Another thing I got to be thankful for is I have 7 healthy kids. They are all different but each one is unique in his or her own way. They don't have any bad health problems to speak of. One daughter does have epilepsy but long as she takes her medicine she is fine. Two of my kids lives in Carrolton. Four live here in Fort Worth and one lives in Sweetwater.
Another thing to be thankful for is my house. I got this house brand new 12 years ago. No one has ever lived here but me and the kids that keep moving back in. My son in Carrolton got this house for me. I was single and he decided I was going to stay that way so he got it for me. I have changed every room in this house. It is nice to get up every morning and say to myself. "This is my house. I can live here the rest of my life if I so choose to do so. "
I might not get everything I want. But I do have the necessities . I got my health and I got a life. I got lots of family around. Tomorrow I keep Kaylee and she is a handful. She keeps me on my toes. We will probably watch SpongeBob all day. Jana and her husband have to go help his step sister move stuff because her house got flooded in Granbury.
So I better get a good nights sleep tonight. Tomorrow will be busy. And I am thankful for that....
