Appreciation

We have great gratitude for the gifts that are coming our way this week. A granddaughter in Florida sent a precious bell with a message that means a lot. She lost one of her adult daughters last year and it has been difficult for all to recover from that trauma but she is moving forward bravely. 

A nearby daughter visited today, bringing all kinds of treats. She made cookies for her dad, brought pretzels stuffed with peanut butter and more treats. She also brought a very colorful large snowflake for us to enjoy along with a box of great frozen foods and miscellaneous delicacies from another daughter who lives in another state. What a wonderful feeling to know our family is doing its best to take care of us! No other visits will happen this season, except from this one particular daughter. We are cautious and self-protective and definitely looking forward to a much better year for all.

Rainbow colors! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo violet!

 

Gifts

There are gifts and there are gifts... I'm one of the lucky people who has a thoughtful and caring daughter living nearby who visits and brings food items, both fresh and baked, and can pony-tail my hair! I have a caring neighbor who has been picking up my full laundry basket every week for about eight weeks, returning it clean, folded and delivered. How wonderful is that? Then there is another who brought me two home baked zucchini bread loaves yesterday and, let me tell you, they are soooooooo good. We ate 1/2 one for breakfast already!

I also have a friend who lives about 90 miles away who is sending me a book she liked, and some ice patches for shoulder issues. I am really blessed with goodness!
