Intervention Weekend

Today I am thankful for: 1. Angels watching over my loved ones. Parents were in a sideswipe today. No one was injured but the white truck has some nasty black marks on it. 2. Priesthood Got a blessing from my husband today when we were alone at the house. So nice to be able to ask and receive guidance from the Lord and to feel He remembers me/us. 3. Outback One last Summer Meal to say good-bye to vacation. He starts part time job tomorrow and school again in Sept. Also was our "I Love You" Versary! 4. Intervention The Con was a great way to meet fellow creatives who are also fans of Who, Sherlock, and other Pop Culture things! And Steve got to do some voice acting work with Terry Molloy! Aka Davros! 5. Knowledge The marketing skills I learned at Con. The spiritual things in our scriptures (2Ne 7-8) The knowledge that God watches over us always, especially in the midst of our trials.

Attitude of Gratitude (It's been a long time!)

Today I am grateful for: 1. Good Food We visited Red Robin and got Steve his Birthday Burger and me the Ensenada Chicken. A mint brownie shake for dessert! 2. Internet TV Shows We caught up on Mr. Robot, Teen Wolf, and Falling Skies. (What a marvel it is to be able to watch things at any time that is convenient for you! To be able to shuck that burden that existed with viewership, when if you missed the original air date you might never get the chance to view it again!) 3. Daddy being cancer free! He had tests to see if he had developed bladder cancer, as he was presenting some pretty scary symptoms but we got good news and are Very Relieved. 4. My Companion He loves me even when I'm grumpy. Yesterday, Aug 6, was the anniversary of the day we first met in person. He barely said hi to me at our first encounter (and eleven years later I can't seem to get a word in edgewise!) 5. Hope I feel trapped some days. I hate our financial situation. But I am grateful that God is mindful of us and that there is always a spark of hope for the future. BONUS 6. Writing Partners (Aimee) We have entered a contest together and this has served to sort of rekindle our desire to work together and my desire to go back and explore and complete previous novellas. It is both exciting and daunting!
