Thanksgiving 2009

Today is the day we in the United States eat way to much to celebrate what we are thankful for. I am thankful for:

  • Family: Goes without saying but must be said!  I love you all so much and have the most beautiful, intelligent, creative and awesome nieces ever.
  • Friends: Online – been online since ‘93 and have met some amazing people and have a real appreciation for the good that online communities can bring.  You (blog readers) have seen me go through quite the travails of whether to keep blogging or not in 2009 and I appreciate you hanging in there with me.
  • Friends Offline – When I came to Christ He eventually released my unabashed extroverted-ness :) .  Now, I have the honor of enjoying friendships with folks all over North America. PLUS I have great new friends in England and Mexico that I met this year :) .
  • Food: oh yeah … I like my food … a lot.  Especially ice cream food.
  • The Gym: maybe I like food a little too much? I actually like the gym a lot.  Some cool folks go there and it isn’t a meat market.  That plus a reasonable gym membership price, no waiting for machines and great spin class schedule.  Ok… the spin class schedule is great even though I don’t ever go to it.
  • Live in a *great* country and we will leave it at that for the day :) .  Live in a great state.  I love Florida.  And I have great neighbors and a nice home that brings rest.
  • I am grateful for my church family.  Especially grateful that we are based in the grace of Christ’s atonement for us.
  • Grateful for art and creativity.  Still trying to learn how to paint with acrylics.
  • Grateful for being able to read and write.
  • Grateful for prayer, private worship and communion
  • and of course grateful to God for His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit who dwells within.
  • … and much more.

So, what are you grateful for?

Laughter + Friends + Creativity = A Good Saturday Night

Tonight was fellowship group night. I have been meeting with this crew for … like … two plus years. I have known several of them for a lot longer. Every other week we go to dinner somewhere and just yak it up. They are allllllways laughing and telling stories and having a good time. I really appreciate their friendship.

Then I came home and “Ghost Rider” starring Nicolas Cage is on and … it’s a totally stupid movie. When I am actually paying attention laughter erupts and then I go and finish something else.

One of the “something else” is playing with a new theme generator for my blog. I found a REALLY good one and the theme on the blog is my first attempt. I made this one for the “end of Summer, beginning of Fall” feel. Hope you like it. It’s a lot simpler than the last one. It is seriously easy to use so, you can probably expect new themes (that I make!) regularly. I think this one will be good through the end of the month :) .  I will probably keep the structure and commenting system the same from here on out and just change up the colors and graphics from time to time.
