10 at the End – February

Published by

Ten things I’m grateful for, this second month of 2025…

  1. God’s provision, protection and gift of health for my precious family. These are not small blessings and I thank Him always.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Celebrated Galentine’s Day with my cherished friend and fervent prayer partner, attending a traditional afternoon tea.
  5. 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.
  6. Enjoyed an infrared sauna on a particularly frigid day.
  7. Coffee date to meet my friend’s future daughter-in-law. Our sons played hockey together for years. Now, both boys are engaged.
  8. Valentine’s Day gift: Barefoot Dreams sweater and pants.
  9. My daughter stayed overnight twice this month…a real treat for Mom and Dad😉. Likely to see Texas daughter in March (fingers crossed).
  10. 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 !

    For a short month, February seemed endless. Glad to March forward with a Spring in my step. Punintended. Happy March, MLM.

        Thanks, MLM. We are going to reach the low 50s today,which is average for us, and it will be accompanied by a brisk wind which will make it feel colder.

    I love this idea of posting a gratefulness list at the end of each month, so I may steal it. Thank you!

    I watched the Prayer Breakfast in DC this morning. Nicely done and wishing the Pope resolution to his illness. I’m of that age too when I love my kids visiting. I have my son for a week before he deploys to Korea. I bet we are both doing happy dances over the visits!

      I wish you so much fun and wonderful moments with your son before his deployment. On behalf of me and my family, we sincerely thank him for his service. God bless him with safety and protection. I watched JD speak this morning as well, and agree it was a thoughtful prayer breakfast. I’m fortunate that two of my three are local and my Texas girl and I are on FT daily🥰. Have a great week with your son!

    All excellent things to be thankful for! Son#1 lives 5 minutes away and I see him at least twice a week and often for dinner. Son#2 lives 2 hours away but during wedding season he visits nearly every weekend since his quartet plays lots of weddings in town here… It is a blessing when we have tight knit families! 🤗💓💓

    The bitter cold has lifted in OK, and I am so thankful. We are having wind–not a fan of that, but at least it is not bitter cold WITH wind.
