Sharing a part of my list towards 1,000 gifts

I don't have a long list...not that I don't have blessings, cuz I do :)  But I don't always see them or remember to write them down.  I'm trying to look for things that bring me joy inside...and for some of those that don't, because they are 'blessings' too...just hidden!

Okay, disclaimer over....here's some of the list
1. motorcycle ride
2. cold wind blowing
3. a splash of color on the trees
4. water to wash my hands
5.  hair that is getting longer
6. Smeigle lying on my chest
7.Paul's voice reading
8. good books to read
9.scriptures to think about
10. laughter in Darrell's eyes
11. the smile on his face
12.
13. classical music
14. the smell of daffodils from my mom
15. pictures of young sons (2005) enjoying life

• lotion to soften hands
• books to make me smile
• (blogger formating to upset me :)  It's not working correctly for some reason)

.....................................to be continued :)

just to say thanks

Just wanted to say thank you to the military and US special ops for their work and accomplishment in the last few days.  I know much more has gone into the 'behind the scenes' than we'll ever know.  I'm proud of my cousin, Burke, Green Beret/Special Forces.  I don't have any idea where he is or if he's even involved, but, Burke, I just want you to know I'm proud of you and what you do for our freedom!  And to all the others, a big applause!

A Need that would be good to consider...
