Ten things I’m grateful for, this second month of 2025…
- God’s provision, protection and gift of health for my precious family. These are not small blessings and I thank Him always.
- A lovely dinner with longtime friends. We canceled three times prior due to my back. I was extra grateful to be together, sharing stories and catching up.
- My children and husband have careers with some travel. February brought each of them to the airport frequently. I’m especially thankful for their safety, considering the recent aircraft issues.
- Celebrated Galentine’s Day with my cherished friend and fervent prayer partner, attending a traditional afternoon tea.
- Three decent weather days to walk a short distance at one of my favorite parks. We’ve had snow, icy grounds, and often wild winds since November. I love parks and yearn for Spring weather.
- Enjoyed an infrared sauna on a particularly frigid day.
- Coffee date to meet my friend’s future daughter-in-law. Our sons played hockey together for years. Now, both boys are engaged.
- Valentine’s Day gift: Barefoot Dreams sweater and pants.
- My daughter stayed overnight twice this month…a real treat for Mom and Dad😉. Likely to see Texas daughter in March (fingers crossed).
- I’m thankful for more reading time in the empty nest. I’m remaining faithful to my 2025 intention of trying to read more fiction (I’m usually a 98% non-fiction reader). The book reviewers I follow have provided excellent recommendations!
As always, I’m grateful for YOU! Thank you for reading. I hope your February was a good one.
Happy Friday! There are 52 Fridays in 2025. Today is #9!
