The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next. ~ Mignon McLaughlin

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it. ~ Maya Angelou

Thankful

• creative outlets
• crisp, bright autumn days
• lunch with Hubby
• "Mama, I need some loves."
• peace of mind

William Henry Channing : To live content with small means; to seek
elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study
hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars
and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all
cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word,
to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through
the common. This is to be my symphony.

Thankful Thursday

• I'm sick, but I'm not chronic or terminal or even bedridden.
• My boy took care of himself while Mama was heaving.
• Hubby is home at this time.
• Annual physical results are in: all is well except for a bit of anemia!
• Great time in Memphis with friends

Thankful Thursday (a day late)

• friendly AND helpful customer service representatives
• good medical insurance
• clean carpet
• beautiful autumn days
• a juxtaposition: Hubby's job has become more solidified - at the expense of a collegue. thankful for the security; sad for the other family.
