It was...

a productive day today. I accomplished a lot at work and took a walk with coworker at lunchtime.

My daughter-in-law cooked dinner after we walked this evening. Now, home, it's relax and watch a good movie.

Today was a good day.

I love...

my Christmas tree! It cost me $50 on sale at Sears about 10 years ago and it's still holding up great! Christmas time...I love the lights, the decorations, people's good will. And I adore my Christmas tree every year because the lights and sparkle lift my spirits. I never have any money this time of year and my tree and front house decorations really give me a happy feeling.

I finished putting up my tree tonight (technically yesterday, but still seems like Saturday night to me...lol) and I love it! That's my sister, Micaela, in the pic btw.

A Quote...

for today~

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. ~Buddha

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

There's nothing like...

being told, "Go home early today. See ya!" an hour and a half before closing time!

Woke up...

this morning and found treasure in my bed...my daughter and grandson!

Past Moments...

got away from me, but I still had them. Last night, I guess really this morning because it was 2 a.m., I sat in my back yard and watched the night sky.

It was clear, and I could see several stars. The city lights drowned out most of the sky near the horizon, but my daughter and I enjoyed 4 sightings of meteors from the Leonid shower.

I wish I could have stayed up longer to watch for more; they were beautiful, but I had to go to work today. I'm a little tired, but the adventure was worth it.

While volunteering at the LAX USO Sunday nite, 11/14, I was blessed to have had a long conversation with a priest, it turned out, who was serving in the Army. It was wonderful to hear that the majority of servicemen found God rather than rejecting him in the face of the horrors of war.

I found him to be very interesting, intelligent, and compassionate. Where their should be 400 priests serving our military troops, there are only 46. His job is tough, and I promised to keep him and the need for vocations in my prayers.

I was

able to sleep in yesterday without interruption...heaven!
