Happy September 1! It's a brand new month! That means it's time for my Thankful Thursday Thirteen, where I list 13 things that happened in the previous month that I feel were blessings.
1. My class reunion. Wow, this was a big one. Our 30th reunion was a smash. I enjoyed every minute of it.
2. I discovered that I want to learn to dance. At my reunion I did dance but I can't dance, so I would like to rectify that. Maybe by the time we have our next reunion, I will be able to foxtrot or something.
3. I reconnected with several old friends. This has been an interesting time for me. Some old high school chums I have seen out and about regularly for these 30 years, but others I literally had not seen since the day we graduated. I am back in touch with a few of these folks on a more regular basis and we're in the process of becoming friends again. It's nice.
4. I received my grade for the graduate class I took this summer. It was an A-, which I was not so happy about, but that was better than a B+ so I can't really complain.
5. I continued to make squash casserole and refined the recipe. Since I do not consider myself a cook, this was an accomplishment.
6. My husband and I took a day trip to West Virginia. We visited the New River Valley Gorge Bridge, and other places, and had a wonderful day together.
7. As of last Sunday, I have lost 13 pounds since June. Weight Watchers is good for me!
8. I visited my asthma doctor and received a thumbs up on my breathing tests. The asthma inhalers are working and I am breathing much better.
9. I read these these books: The Way, by Kristen Wolf (highly recommended!), Ladies of the Lake, by Haywood Smith, and Rescue, by Anita Shreve. It is such a blessing to be able to read!
10. I had lunch with my friends BS. and LS. and we had nice visits.
11. I wrote about 13 pages on my thesis.
12. I saw a golden sunset and was thankful for the beauty of nature that is all around me.
13. My computer crashed but I was able to fix it and get everything working again. I was so relieved!
Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here. I've been playing for a while and this is my 206th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday
Nice 13! It was a very good month!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your photos WV, especially the breathtaking landscapes, their logo "Wild and Wonderful" came to mind.
Lenora, West Virginia is a lovely state!
ReplyDeleteSquash casserole sounds great where is recipe??I'm a Wvaian ..also I just had my 5oth last mo
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great month! Hope this one is even better.
ReplyDeleteI can dance better by myself than with people! I think an A- is good! I already mourned the end of summer so I'm ready for September! Did you notice the lack of butterflies this year? Not so many.
ReplyDeleteDo people really Foxtrot non-competitively anymore? I'm good with just getting out on the dance floor and swaying.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'm ready for my HS reunion.
