Thinkin about stuff, that is. I am surrounded by stuff. What got me thinkin' was a sad thing really. Ya see, a hometown neighbors home caught fire yesterday and I got sad. Sad thinking about the holidays that are right around the corner and they won't have a home to celebrate in. Sad thinking about the loss of many possesions. REALLY sad about the time that was spent and memories made in their home, and now, it's gone.
I wish I could bring it back. I wish that I had the ability to make it all better, but I don't. I do have, however, a few free minutes of time to sit and ponder and list all the many things I have to be thankful for. And then, I challenge you to do the same. For 2 minutes, yes...just 2 (set your timer if you have to) just list the things you are grateful for. I'd need 200 years to list it all, but I don't have that much free time lying around lately.

I needed this. Not sure I would have even thought aobut tortillas as a blessing. You make me smile!
I sure do like you. I've thought a lot about those home town folks too....
Good stuff you've got there, I need to give this a try.
I think I see a FHE just planned out for me in the near future, thanks.
