Looking up

Feeling better. Gary is getting a deposit on a job today, we've gotten an answer to our weeks old prayer request (not how we wanted it answered, but apparently what God wants), and I feel an easing of pressure, at least for a time. I'm not basing my better mood purely on finances, but security is a wonderful thing. I'll admit it.

Last night I figured I'd focus this week on thankfulness. I'm trying to notice things outside my immediate vision that make me smile. Yesterday afternoon, oldest daughter and I were leaving to go for a drive and saw a large woodpecker peckin' away in the neighbor's Tulip Poplar across the street. They always give me a rush, since seeing them is a rarity.

My goal this week? Look for more of these little serendipities (happy accidents). Just makes a person feel good. :) Figured I'd add them here, to keep me in practice. Look for them...
