A day to be thankful for...

Yes, each day that we draw breath is a day to thank the Lord for, but yesterday I'm VERY thankful for.  I actually felt normal for most of the day.  The Lord helped me to get the kitchen, living room, entry way and our bedroom back to my level of clean.  It's been way too long!  We were also able to work through all of Elyssia's math and today is our second to last day!:)!  Can you tell that I'm excited?  The sun was shining and the apple tree has blossoms.  Last year many of them were destroyed because of the wind.  Praying that doesn't happen this year. My cousins little girl Abby is showing GREAT improvement, for which we are extremely thankful.  I felt like baking, which is the first time in 2 months that I've felt that way.  I found that I missed it, so hopefully I'll be inspired more often in the next couple weeks, months, etc...  The kids filled buckets with water and pretended to "swim".  Scott had a full day of painting, then came home and mowed the lawn.  The grass is growing quickly now and it's a challenge to stay ahead of it.  Maybe this time next year he'll be doing it with a tractor attachment:).  That would be a huge answer to prayer.  Some friends blessed us with a couple dozen eggs, just when we were getting low.  Isn't it amazing how God works that way?  The list just goes on and on....  I guess you can tell that I'm feeling better, eh?  My mind felt dull and uninspired when I was sick, but I'm starting to feel the light come back on. 
  Tonight we are going to one of those "talks".  You know, the ones where you go and sit for an hour in order to get something for free.  Well, I think this one will be worth it.  They are giving us 2 night's free in any motel in N. America and we get to eat at any local restaurant for free. An hour of possible boredom is worth it this time, and who knows, maybe the people will actually talk about something interesting:).
  Our schedule during the day includes cleaning the kids rooms, helping Elyssia get through her assignment for today and organizing, trading out books.  Hopefully a nap to rejuvenate somewhere in the middle of the day:).  Hope everyone else is having a good week too!
