{Thankfulness} Nov 10

To me, there is such a great sense of satisfaction in working through my To-Do List. Today was a most glorious day, a cool autumn day, complete with intermittent rain showers; simply perfect for cozying myself in the house and quilting the day away, just me, my Jennifer Moon Quilts projects, coffee and reruns of Remington Steele on Hulu! Photos of completed projects will come soon, here is my agenda for next To-Do Day.

Tonight I am thankful for the sound of rain showers rustling the oleanders as I drift off tzzzzzzzzz

{Thankfulness} Nov 7,8

It has been two days since our President was re-elected and the after math still sizzles on heated tempers. I'm disappointed in a few of the outcomes, but what I appreciate is the process. It wasn't too terribly long ago that women couldn't vote and minorities didn't have a say. In my brief travels, I've observed societies that are not so free; free to vote, free to speak, free to choose. I am thankful for America and those whom have gone before to pave the way for my liberties. God bless you America.

{Thankfulness} Day 3, 4, 5, and 6

I am thankful these days and every other day, for music. Happy, sad, triumphant, reflective, awe inspiring, welcoming; all of it stirs in me and rejuvenates me. This week in particular has been a music marathon, some documented in pictures, Needtobteathe concert, with Matthew Mayfield and Good Old War opening, then worshiping with the City of Grace worship team, and learning songs for an upcoming Scrooge musical. Monday night was a whimsical bluegrass band, The Vespers (courtesy of The Habenaro Collective) who played a backyard concept under a canopy of vines and white lights. Dear Amber Hunter opened for them. Tonight was more Scrooge rehearsal and tomorrow night The Ryan Hunt Band and music workshops, Christmas music instruction, it is in ending and I am so grateful! I wish I had music to share here... Photos only, but check out some of these bands! You'll be thankful you did!

Eight years and 2 months. Next to home, in small town South Dakota, it is the longest I've lived in one city. I would never guessed I would have settled in here and now it would take quite a bit to convince me to live anywhere else. Unless I could have a snowbird option, live in the Pacific Northwest or Alaska or Colorado in the summer, quilt and craft in the mountains and come back to the desert for the remainder of the year, you'd have to offer me deal that was out if this world. Now Arizona is home and I'm so thankful. Here I have found a church family to walk through life with, I have grown closer to my sisters and their families, and I've come to know the subtle beauty of a land dotted with cactus and blossoms in unlikely places. The real bonus, I don't have to scrape my windshield tomorrow morning. Have cozy dreams of a sunny tomorrow.
