belated thanks

This was my mystery package from Knitting with the Classics.
What a hoot!

The wool was luscious!!! And great name too...Ruby Red Slippers...visions of The Wizard of Oz are floating through my brain...LOL
The chocolate was hidden quickly. Wouldn't last in this house if I didn't.
And best of all - a book I have never read.

Thank you so much to my Mystery Swap pal. Your awesome :-)

Gratitude Monday

Boy am I far behind. Life just keeps getting in the way.
I figure, however, that a little gratitude can only make the week better.

So.....

Weekly affirmation:
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

I am grateful for....

1. a husband who will walk beside me, carry me or let me lead...whatever is necessary at the moment.
2. a daughter who sees the good in all things
3. friends
4. a sunny day
5. the love of a pet
6. a quiet moment to start my day
7. a belief in a higher power
8. family time
9. a good book
10. times of pampering
