I've have been reading about gratitude journaling, but we all know that I am not consistent at all about journaling or blogging to put it mildly. So I guess I'll try to do something to get this thing going again.
The topic for gratitude journal today is supposed to be "The bet thing that happened so far this year"...I can say with all certainty that the best thing that has happened to me is God has had me and my family on the wake-up list every day. It doesn't get any better than that.
As far as blogging about our life, guess I should finish out 2024 -
March - Charleston for Jake and Emily's birthday and SAIA Committee week. Jim was AWOL for most of the rest of the month on business
April - We had our new patio poured then went to Ft Pierce and Gainesville for visits. Jim only gone one week this month Had a weekend at Emily's.
May - Jim made a visit to Ft. Pierce - We also made a trip to Gainesville later in the month
June - Had Cardio appt and passed with flying colors, Went to Gainesville to the end of the month to pick up Logan for Camp Gma & Gpa
July - Had Logan for the month - did the King's Mountain experience and Schiele Museum - both were big winners - We also got our year supply of peas and butterbeans for the freezer - Jenny came to pick up Logan and Emily came in to visit also, so we had a blast, especially at the farmers market with the fresh apple cider donuts. Girls still talk about that
August - August was extremely quiet but that was a good thing because we needed the break
September - Took a trip to VA to spend a long weekend with family (Mom, sisters, aunts and uncle) Jim spent several days in Knoxville
October - Spent the first week in Denver for SAIA Convention (scary city) Jim had a few business trips for the month. Got a big surprise on my birthday weekend -was sitting on patio when I was tapped on shoulder and turned to find Emily, Jake and Rachel standing there to celebrate with me. It was wonderful. Jim and I left for Knoxville a few days later.
November - Still in Knoxville/Pigeon Forge - made our first trip to Dollywood and it was amazing - we took a different route home and rode the Cherohala Skyway thru the Smoky Mountains. The fall foliage was like nothing we had ever seen before. Had permanent lighting installed on the house so we can light it for every holiday. Took another weekend trip to Emily's for Jim to do some work on her new apt - Last we went down to Gainesville for the week of Thanksgiving - for the first time in several years, we had all the children and grandchildren with the exception of Kaleigh and I was in Mama heaven.
December - the month of Chaos - I was extremely fortunate to have all the gifts bought, wrapped and Christmas ornaments made and given to each family at Thanksgiving, so all I had to do in December to was decorate and get ready for two little munchkins to spend Christmas with us. We had a full house at Christmas with Jake, Emily, Rachel, Camden and Chandler. I felt I was in my element.
Well, that should catch things up for last year and I'm sure I forgot tons but these were most of the highlights.
