Express your Gratitude

Re: Express your Gratitude

I'm grateful my fingers are tingling. Blood circulation is returning to extremities. Grateful my sweet customer is being supportive. I rolled her hair up and can feel fingers better. We laughed. Beginning day one NF. Haven't snarled yet. :tiger: Eating a high carb - mid meal for energy. Tonight salad and cherries. Grateful for organic nettle tea, cranberry, tart cherry juices. Need to flush system. Husband is on notice. :egad:


[MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION] - Yes. The more I grow (or get older) appreciate simplicity. Crave it. Last year took out wildflowers and other bushes. Transplanted daises to three places in back. Only one survived. Am grateful. Enjoy your flowers and sunny day. :flowerspop:

:teatime: later

Re: Express your Gratitude

Hi, [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], I thought of you today as I was knitting away on a scarf. Are you enjoying it? I like seed (moss) stitch best so far. If I just knit, my fingers know what to do and my mind goes all over the place. The k-p-k-p-k rhythm of seed stitch is relaxing and I have to chant 'knit-purl-knit-purl...' in my head, keeping my brain busy! I'm grateful to have stumbled upon this fun, creative, and relaxing hobby.

[MENTION=18725]NoSugar[/MENTION], I have not gotten started on anything yet, but most definitely will. I tend not to knit or crochet until Fall/Winter. I know what you mean though about the simplicity and rhythm...I am looking forward to using the concept of mindfulness when I get back to knitting this year. Love the seed stitch, too!

I have a really simple dishcloth pattern that is straight knit and done on the bias. It's one of my favorite portable projects and a really great dishcloth! I'm sure the pattern can be found on the web. I'll google it. Ah, here it is:

My Favorite Knit Dishcloth - The Make Your Own Zone

Make sure you use 100% cotton yarn.

[MENTION=16893]Wildflowers[/MENTION], I didn't know you lost sensation in your fingers. Glad it's returning! Are you a hairdresser?

Tonight I'm grateful that today was a 100% improvement over yesterday, even if I spent it on the end of a shovel lol.

Re: Express your Gratitude

I live just outside of one of those struggling little rural farming towns. It's a struggle for small businesses to making a go of it in this little town. So today I am grateful for the small business warrior that has reopened the little restaurant and is giving it a go. I wish her success, and will definitely frequent her establishment. I've tried it twice now and both times were great!

Re: Express your Gratitude

I'm grateful for left overs. Grateful I enrolled in a quit smoking program. As I caved today. The program has a coach 24/7, forum and tutorials. Hubs gave me that disappointmented face. Even though I'm depressed. Am grateful for not giving up. Grateful, I didn't drink over this. Grateful for a cooler weather day.


[MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION] - Not a licensed hair stylist. Just something I've done for a long time as a hobby. Caregiving to seniors as part of a service. I hope the owners will be successful in your small town. It's been rough going for many small rural towns. They need all the help they can get!... Bless them.


[MENTION=20895]Orimus[/MENTION] - Your SIL is so young. Hopefully, this will help in her healing!.. You take care and please keep us informed.


[MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION] - Sure do appreciate your daily quotes!.. They help!..

Hello to everyone else. Hope it's been a decent day. :love:

Re: Express your Gratitude

Today I'm grateful to be on the mend after a nasty virus.. Grateful that my body has the ability to recover and keep on going. Very grateful for that.. I know it's something I should never take for granted.
Dill, what is she serving in the restaurant?
Wildflowers, I've appreciated your posts the past week very much!
AB, I'm also grateful for your daily quotes.. I look forward to reading them each morning.

You're all inspiring me to knit! Both of my girls can, the younger one very well.. she tried to show me once and gave up!:happy2: But I think I'll ask again.. I can imagine it being a nice Winter project..

Hope you all have a nice day..

When Bubba and I travel we always stop in a small town to eat. The food is usually better, bigger portions, more natural, and like you [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], trying to help the small businesses stay open. When I took my buy-out package from the College after working there 8 to 5 for 22 years, I wondered what the future would hold for me. I sure didn't think I'd be a drunk, get sober, and have a small, relatively prosperous small business!

I'm grateful that I am where I am today, but for the grace of God, my family, and all you here, I am turning into the man I should have been all along...

Re: Express your Gratitude

I am grateful for my daily spiritual practice. The daily routine of meditation and continued mindfulness has been life changing.

Re: Express your Gratitude

[MENTION=15430]lifechange[/MENTION], [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION], they serve basic, down home mid western food. Nothing really more special than that. Good breakfast gravy which Mr. D loves. We always look for small, local restaurants. We have been watching our local establishments lose ground. We do what can locally and as we travel.

Grateful today for a chance to buy school supplies for my grandkids.

Re: Express your Gratitude

Today I'm grateful for the weekend.
To have two whole days in front of me.. I'm grateful to be in a different state of mind, to cherish the time I have rather than wanting to escape it.
Wishing you all restful days..

Re: Express your Gratitude

Grateful for cig free days over last week. Had a positive spin

[abcowboy]

Like [MENTION=15430]lifechange[/MENTION], I'm grateful that it's the weekend! There's always work to be done around the farm, but sometimes you just have to sit down, put yer feet up, and say it can wait...

Re: Express your Gratitude

I'm grateful for a pleasant afternoon at a local music, arts and crafts festival. I'm grateful that I stayed out of the beer tent! I'm grateful for another sober day.
