*A new dear friend stopped by. I want to be more like her.
*Being able to call a friend I knew would understand.
*Help that didn’t cost me anything. Didn’t solve the problem but pointed me in the right direction.
*Knowing God gathers my tears.
*Encouragement from blogging friends, especially when they didn’t know I needed it. Thanks God for inspiring them.
*A leaky shower drain seems to be fixed with a bit of packing tape. Now to figure out the other leaks.
*The space blanket that covers my kitchen window in the the afternoons, dropping the temperature by four degrees. The gold side in adds a lovely hue.
*My tower fan that I bought for my dog years ago does a great job of cooling my toasty office.
*Church
*Friends
*The chance to help a friend
*Praying for others
*Air conditioning
*Good movies: “Sense and Sensibility” “Race to Space” “The Dating Handbook”
*Watched the lunar eclipse, with the moon playing peek-a-boo through the mares’ tail clouds. Cool.
*A good difference in how I feel going through the day thinking, “God is protecting me.”
*Made healthy choices shopping
*People I enjoy seeing, every time, at the places I go.
*Making progress on rewrites
*I can’t explain the joy of opening the door for someone and someone opening the door for me, people just being polite and helpful to each other. Love it.
*Be careful what you pray for: I prayed for God to help make my house a home and safe; a plumber, reconstruction adjuster, and insurance adjuster are trying to help now. Thanks, God? Struggling to keep my sense of humor and not utterly failing.
*Good friends checking up on me.
*Quail outside my office window
*Precious moments of peace and calm, no matter how short
*Delicious lunch with dear friends at Raising Cane, laughter and encouragement
*A dear friend is teaching me to say “Thanks, God, for the challenge.” Not easy but good.
*God’s grace

1.) The hummingbirds have returned. 2.) Even though we had a bad storm, the damage was minimal. 3.) Walks in the fresh air. 4.) The spring flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and the trees have fresh green leaves. 5.) Good neighbors.🙂
