I am thankful:
1. Alex's girlfriend, Laura, made the drive here safely last night. She came to renew Alex's tags because he was unable to get leave time.
2. I have done several pages of journaling this week.
3. My phone is working after going out of service last Thursday. I will not be billed a service call because the problem was at the junction box.
4. Mom is feeling a little better after having a bad cough earlier in the week.
5. I use Microsoft One Note to write some of my journal entries and really like the program's interface.
6. Mom bought me a package of ice cream.
7. We live outside of the city and most of the time it is peaceful and quiet here.
8. My baby, my puppy dog, Hope, keeps me company.
9. I ordered a year subscription to O magazine, a tote bag with logo, and a white tee-shirt with logo from www.mycokerewards.com. Because I had the points these things were free.
10. My niece, Leigh, and I are very close. She and her family are helping out here and that lifts some of the burden on me.
