"Just keep walking."
"Just keep walking."
"Just keep walking."
That's what I told myself on my morning walk today on break. AFTER I tripped. See, I thought that if I kept walking, I would eventually catch myself without looking like a TOTAL freak. What I ended up doing was walking myself into the ground. I was so worried about hurting myself, though, that once I knew I would hit the cement, I immediately rolled onto my back. AND, I was trying to keep my legs together because I was wearing a knee length skirt. BECAUSE I LIKE TO FALL LADY-LIKE, THAT'S WHY!
Despite my best efforst, though, I think the biker who was right behind me who almost hit me got a eye-full, if you know what I mean.
All in a days work...
My Thankful Fors:
1. Walking into the ground and then rolling saved my life: I didn't even have one scratch!
2. The guy behind me DIDN'T run me over.
3. Being able to laugh at myself. It comes in handy. Daily.
4. My mom. It was her birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Mom!
5. My husband calling me at 3:00. I love an afternoon pick-me-up! (Sometimes I really DO need a literal pick-me-up!)

Sunday Five
1. My wedding ring came off! After 3 kids and 14 years of marriage, my ring no longer fit. But try as I may, it wouldn't come off. It hurt to bend my finger, and sometimes my circulation wasn't so hot. But now. Now it's off. Which is great and sad all at the same time.
2. Fasting. I had a definate answer to my prayer and fasting today.
3. My kids played together all afternoon and evening and there were hardly any casualities.
4. Leftover apple pie (wonder why my wedding ring didn't fit?).
5. No more leftover apple pie!

I'm Thankful For...
Here's Wednesday's version:
1. Wildlife. I see a family of deer some mornings at my bus stop in Kaysville. And there are bunnies and chipmunks that live outside the building I work at. I see them a lot on my breaks.
2. Book suggestions. I just started the Little Lady Agency, recommended by two of my sisters. I love it when people share the knowledge!
3. Fourth of July. We are so blessed to live in a free country, where we have access to our religion, education, and choice!
4. Last Sunday's Father's day celebration. I regret to say that it took me all week to finally appreciate it, but getting together with my family was good. Even if one brother was high and another was drunk. I love all my brothers and sisters!
5. Ice cream sandwiches. No need to elaborate on that one...
