Sometimes, I finish my list, but have to turn the light back on and add to it! Guess What! You nice folks make the list every night!
I also keep a gratitude journal. I write down one thing I'm grateful for/blessed by, my prayer list, and any random act of kindness I've been able to accomplish. Yesterday I got an "insufficient postage" letter returned to my mailbox at the apt. in Austin. It wasn't mine, but the return address label was for my apt. address (I get mail for this girl a lot, even tho we've had the apt. for a year). So, I put a stamp on it and sent it on its way. Today, we met our son, dil, and grandson for lunch and had a good time.
