Taking time to be grateful


Good things...the last time that I posted, I was collecting toys for the homeless. Thanks to the big hearts of my friends, family and the children of Hampton Township School District, we were able to collect over 250 toys. I am blessed to have such generous folks in my life.

Good people...well, obviously, the people mentioned above! With the New Year here, I have started a "Gratitude Journal," writing down at least five things every day that I am thankful for. I have coerced my husband in to doing this as well - he is a chemist with a whole different thought process than writer me, but he is getting into the groove as well. He is a good guy.

Good times...as I write this, I am getting ready to go watch my 17-year-old play basketball. The photo above is him a few years ago during football season. Where has that time gone? A friend of mine said she misses when her kids were younger and she would go watch them play sports. I am cherishing this time.

Be grateful, enjoy your days and be well.

When a friend(s) reaches out...


Good things...I had outpatient surgery this week, not serious but enough to feel puny. Two of my good friends brought dinner to our house (two separate nights). One brought quiche and lovely PNB and chocolate chip cookies, the other lasagna and brownies. If you have read my blog before, you know I love brownies and make Ghiradelli brownies with milk chocolate chips added. Diane brought me Ghiradelli triple chocolate brownies - yum. The flowers are from my husband. He might not be much of a cook, but flowers always make me smile.

Good people...my wonderful friends, my husband and my children who helped out by doing little things like picking up heavy things, moving chairs, fetching my knitting and vacuuming.

Good times...she is at it again. Little half-pint singer, Jackie Evancho is on the Oprah Show tomorrow. I have had the good fortune of writing about Jackie and can't wait to hear her tomorrow. You can read more at
