Welcome to another edition of Fly On The Wall group blog postings hosted by Karen of Baking In A Tornado. Today, Karen and I are sharing glimpses of what you would see and hear in our houses if you were a nosy little fly buzzing around. This month, the fly has caught me in a month of reflection and gratitude. Why such deep thoughts? Well, updating a will can do that
Counting my blessings has become key to boosting my mental well-being. I have a running list of what I'm grateful for, and of course, it goes without saying that I appreciate my husband, family, friends, pets, home,
DOGS. Especially my snorting, farty, little pugs! I will never stop having a pug by my side.
CHOCOLATE. I don't even need to explain this one.
COFFEE. Again, no explanation
NEIGHBORS. I have the absolute best people living on my street. We're all close and I adore them!
The list goes on and on...modern medicine, cold weather, hearty crockpot meals, RVing, cruising, squirrels (and all wildlife in general), reconnecting with childhood friends on social media, throwing parties, swimming pools, coloring with my grandbabies, holding hands across the table with Husby while sipping cocktails at an intimate restaurant, watching a thunderstorm from my front porch, kissing and cuddling, trips to St. Augustine.....and last but not least, YOU, dear readers! August 27 marks 12 years since I started blogging, and I wouldn't have gotten this far in my career without your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This post made me a little teary, and made me smile. Family is everything.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww thanks! And I am very grateful for your friendship!
DeleteLife in you house is more interesting then it is in my house as lately we go no where and do nothing, our conversations are about how worried I am about Tim, as he isn't eating and I mean not eating going days without even a mouthful of food. He bought himself some beef jerky and has had some of that the last couple of days.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to wills neither of my parents had one and I don't as I have bugga all but I have what I call my last wishes written out and stored on my laptop and in Tim's safe.
As long as you have something written down---that's good. I'm sorry to hear about Tim---hopefully he will get his appetite back soon!
