The Next Time my credit card people call...

A weird title for a joyful posting. But I never claimed to be unquirky.

I often ponder and pray and sing in my car. I like to think of it as my cathedral of one. I was thinking of blessings tonight. Bing Crosby suggest you should count your blessing instead of sheep. Now me, I like to be awake while blessing counting. I have a lot of people tell me to have a blessed day. I am quirky and I believe a bit naive. I see the world as good and I like to thank God often for all my blessings. And that got me thinking about all the blessings I take for granted.

Like being able to read. I don't even really think about it much. There are letters and numbers in front of my face all the time. But I know what they mean. And I am assuming you do too. But there is a lady who comes in twice a week to see a reading tutor at my branch. Just by listening to them as they sit quietly talking and reading aloud in the time that they have been coming to the library, the one learning has grown by leaps and bounds. She really seems to enjoy it now.

And health. We have someone who comes in regularly whose husband has cancer. Liver cancer, I think. It has been a hard battle for her and him. She is one I pray for a lot in my car. I tell her that every now and then if she asks me to pray for him. She feels like all the prayers is why he has been able to hold on for so long. I am blessed to be healthy and he is blessed to have so many praying for him.

That is just a few of my infinite blessing. They are riches beyond measure. Yes, Capital One probably won't take them in lieu of payment but I don't think I would even consider offering them up. They are priceless.

On a side note, someone told me today that I was an answer to a prayer. She was trying to find a seminary to attend but doesn't use the computer so well. I was able to find her one that she felt right for her along with phone number, address and directions on how to get to it. Little did I know that I would be a blessing for someone else : )

Good night and god bless : P

A weekend by the Numbers

124/78 last BP measurement

6:55 pm the time we got in from our drive. Just a short drive into the sunshine...

3:30ish the time we left for our short drive.

4 cats that rule the roost and for whom we brought another put together tower yesterday.

0 cats who are currently on the tower I put together

almost 30 days of having our tree up. I think we were going to take it down this weekend but in the midst of our quiet weekend, it just never got done. The family (cats and us) really like having it up.

5 times I have bemoaned the idea of being the PIC from my branch from now on. I love being a children's person. I stand being in charge and am very good at it but it takes some much away from being just children's which is my love.

2 credit reports for me and B. I try to remember to check them annually.

16.15 how much we spent at Angel's Diner in Palatka, FL It is reported to be the oldest diner in Florida. The food was quite good and the staff very friendly. We will definitely try them again some time : )

2 movies we saw this weekend. They were both about vampires. Twilight: New Moon and Daybreakers were both very good in their own way. I think that Daybreakers has the better visual effects with some slow motion work and interesting camera work.

Good day and tomorrow is another day.
